These concerns are being answered by the new violet-sensitive polymer plates just coming to market, but they require at least a 30mW violet laser source. Such diodes only recently have become available, so platesetters that image at that power naturally are still a new development. A number of product introductions in this category are expected at PRINT 01. (Since platesetters will be the focus of an article in an upcoming issue of Printing Impressions, they won't be discussed in any depth here.)
