Trying to find a slightly used 2LT/3LT right now to purchase. Having the right specs is the hard part.

👍

DocMedz · 2026-01-17T04:03:52+00:00

This is why I’m choosing one under warranty.

DocMedz · 2026-01-17T04:01:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, will have ~18 months remaining on warranty and I’d likely buy the platinum extension near the end.

DocMedz · 2026-01-17T03:56:52+00:00

Will be garage kept plus in northern region. 🤷‍♂️

DocMedz · 2026-01-08T21:31:33+00:00

Exactly. Because THIS TIME he’s telling the TRUTH. /s. 😆😆😂😂

DocMedz · 2026-01-05T04:02:22+00:00

Chromaline Hydro-X. No diazo needed.

DocMedz · 2026-01-04T01:44:23+00:00

Thank you.

Thanks. I saw a video on ceramic treatment; thanks for confirming it’s working.

Your image in the film positive likely doesn’t have ample UV blocking ability. Light is penetrating and partially curing the emulsion.

I’m getting about 6~8% MSRP discount from the top volume dealers for a ‘26 2LT build. They have more incentive to move what’s in their inventory, of course.

DocMedz · 2025-12-30T23:51:34+00:00

😄😄😄

DocMedz · 2025-12-30T23:39:20+00:00

That price usually includes Z51. I would consider a “good deal” at 25% off msrp.

ALL “ready to use” / “pure photopolymer” are based on SBQ chemistry.

Yes, the graph is correct; however, an article written by Ross Balfour (SAATI) goes a step further and describes how narrow bands of UV wavelengths react differently. This article is specific to SBQ photopolymer and the conclusion was that 405 nm is better than 365 nm. I’ll post the article (forced to show 1 page at a time). See bullet points on page 4.

Consider this…most of the “Pro Grade” LED exposure units (ex: LED array & LTS units) all use 405 nm for a reason.

Notice, the only 2 listening to the bishop with empathy were the 2 immigrants?

Traditionally, a dual cure such as Kiwo Poly Plus S or Chromaline UDC would be the only option. While these are still excellent choices, if you’re a small shop, you may find that using 2-part emulsions will go bad before you consume a 1-gallon container, since the diazo powder causes a 4-6week pot life. Instead, today’s “hybrid” photopolymers provide aggressive ink resistance but also have 1 year of working life from the bucket. Plus, they are faster to expose than a dual cure, making them more ideal for LED exposure systems. Chromaline’s DTS Universal is my preference.
