I suppose the bigest problems are on yellow..... Don't worry. The plates are a little peculliar to mount. U have to tension them very good and carefully. And the yellow is the hardest of all...After a few imagings the registration problem eliminates itself.

I have switched back to Presstek plates. There were scratches on the first couple plates of each roll because it was a little bigger around than Presstek rolls and rubbed on something on it's way around. I didn't mind that too much, the price difference was such that I could eat those plates and still make out. But after a few boxes I have seen a lot of scratches that happen when the cloth is cleaning the plate off. The coating does not seem to be very tough and scratches easy. Between the cost of lost plate material and time to reburn the savings were gone. Also the coating is black, instead of silver like Presstek, making it hard to see image on the plates. I'll go back to them if they fix those issues, but for now i have to switch back.
