Re: Re: Polymer Plate 80% screen Weirdness

Jon,

For reason I want to think that Dan Welden may have said something about to
much presure on the plates this may sound dumb. But if you have an regular
contact print frame you might try it with a S/P to see if it is true (just a
thought). Kate is right about the old ways and the amount of B/P-Talc is
???not a issue??? we are not talking dust every where. Dust Tap and Brush I
some times think what good it does but it does something.
