    Thermal plates are imaged and then put throught an oven to bake the image on (very tough plates), UV plates are a subtrative plate, the lazer cut off the surface of the unwanted area, therefore what is left were the lazer has not touched the plate it leaves you with the image the you want, then it is developed, not baked. Cost, well that depends on the size that you require. They both are good, what are your needs?
