Hi there,
We have recently bought a Suprasetter 52 and use it with Kodak Thermal Direct plates. Rock solid machine... no problems so far. The Thermal Direct is great. no more chemicals, gum or whatever. Straight from the Suprasetter to our press (Speedmaster 52). Once it has developed on the press (20 sheets or so) it behaves just like any conventional plate. And so far we haven't had any problems with the plates polluting the water in the press.
The only drawback I can think of is the speed... 14 plates an hour on conventional plates, only 7 or so with the Thermal Direct. But if you are a small printing company like us with only 1 or 2 presses to feed this isn't a problem at all.
In short... we love it!
Good luck!
