"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Kiwo Mult-tex was awful in just about every category, I can't believe it did so poorly.
Alan:I forget, are you still using film?
I'm certainly not looking for an emulsion that will burn in 10 seconds or even 20 seconds necessarily and when we were using the Richmond there were times with older bulbs that 90-120 second exposures were the norm. The way our flow works it wouldn't hurt us in the overall scheme of things to spend 1 minute or 1.5 minutes per screen for the expo process. I have changed my tune the last year or two in regards to fast exposures and I'm a little looser on sticking with a pure photopolymer and will entertain a dual cure or diazo emulsion as long as we're not talking several minutes-long exposures. If the level of detail is where I want, stencil durability on press is thousands of imprints like it was with the Richmond/metal halide, and reclaim isn't a bear along with 60-90 second TOTAL (vacuum and burn) then we'll have a winner.
