I have never seen an exposure unit this small. Who makes these?

Hi I believe there are several suppliers, l got mine via eBay but l think Caslon now sell them, mine cost around £200 new and l purchased a few sheets of cheap polymer plates to practice on first using OHP film printed on an ink jet printer. The difference in price between cheap plates (£8) and Caslon etc. (£28) which made sense to me in fact l usually try the cheap plate’s first as l can normally get away using them. The exposure is the critical factor with times varying from 90 seconds to 240 seconds but even that seems to vary between batches of plates. Please let me know how you get on or if you need any more information. Regards Norm

thanks for the quick reply norm! I found a similar version on Amazon. But I also found a lamp style light that was super inexpensive that I'm going to try first. I'll let you know how it goes@@normanbrown3384

What format is best to save in ?

Hi Janet I assume you mean the computer files, in which case l always save in jpg format from gimp. It’s easier if l have to print via Microsoft. If you mean the polymer plates, then l wash them with white spirit and a soft brush although it’s unusual that they will be required for a reprint, if however they are after cleaning l make a point of laying them out in the sunshine (not often in the UK!) to keep them hard. Hopefully that helps you if not then please contact me again. Regards Norman
