CTP Systems -- Violet Support Isn't Shrinking

On the performance side, violet photopolymer plates typically are rated for run lengths of 100,000 to 250,000 impressions. Baking can jump their performance up to one million impressions or more and provide support for UV ink use. This puts them on a par with thermal products. Violet photopolymer plates can be processed in conventional aqueous chemistry and will tolerate a yellow safelight production environment.
