i've used a Nuarc platemaker; similar setup i think.
a really sexy vacuum screen, but i was getting cyanos in 1 hour that i
could have got in my BL setup at home in 5-10 minutes.
i would *guess* it's a uv spectrum thing, as that unit pumps out a lot
of light --tho it seems to be more in the visible spectrum.
anyone know?
