With the Saphira Chemfree plate, we can image 11 SM 52 plates per hour.
On Thermal Direct, how much time between imaging and printing do you typically have? How do you store the imaged plates until they are ready to print? Thanks again for the post.

Hello Mark,
The Kodak Thermal Direct plates can be left in white light for 1 to 2 hours, and in yellow light (or any other colour that is less bright) for up to 4 hours.
But if you put them in a drawer or cover them up so they are not in direct contact with light, they last 2 to 3 days easy.
We tested this a few weeks ago... imaged a plate Friday morning and stored it in a dark place. On Monday morning we used the plate on press without any problems.
I don't know the Saphira plate... is this also completely process free, or do you have to bake or clean them after exposure?
