For the ultimate in stability and run length and resolution (10 micron printing) it is hard to beat the Kodak Thermal Gold. Very hard and hi-rez and lasts forever.

The Fuji LH-PJ as others mentioned is a great plate but I would be sort of skeptical if it could hold 10 micron consistently. It is definately a great 15-25 micron no bake plate and as others have said processor uses very little chemistry but having distilled water is the key.

The Kodak Sword Excel (G33 Grain) is also a decent plate when compared to the LH-PJ but still only a solid 20 micron plate. Sword Excel w/Ultragrain is poor for resolution.. 25-30 micron min and that is with the new 980 developer and regenerator and upped replenishment rates.

Soo many choices.. soo little dots!!!

Good luck,
Dub
