When were these first discovered?
I was just looking up some info about a thought I had, and I may want one of these even more.
Current technology can digitally produce the plates on the press, with essentially no physical process. Or digitally done but off the press.
The early technologies to do this might explain some of the weirdness.
UV process free plates- Not on press 3M 1995, Kodak 2001. Both failures for a few reasons.
Digital thermal plates- Kodaks fist successful ones 2005 but there were others before that.
