We exclusively use fuji for all of our film and plates. No problems, nice and crisp output. (Although we only do 133lpi.)

Thanks for contributing that bit of knowledge with me.
I have been using Fuji chemistry for years and it just seems logical to use the same brand film as the chemistry.
I'm glad I checked with you folks.
I will check often for more tips and knowledge.

Thanks again.

I should have mentioned that we were using Fuji chenistry with the Agfa film.
