Thanks Robin for the detailed information. 

I am also interested in how to obtain high quality photo tools and on and
off have been testing over many years.

 

A couple of decades ago I also were testing with in my case 200W mercury
lights and I also removed the outer enclosure.  Curiously I found that the
UV decreased which did not make sense.  After some more testing I realized
that without the protective enclosure the tube ran too cold so the UV
dropped.  Now I have 200W industrial UV exposure unit so there are no
exposure problems.

 

I did an artwork testing design to see resolution and performance on
difficult slightly angular lines.  See:

Please see my previous message for a discussion of the desirable
properties of phototools, and about printing with a 1200 DPI laser
printer. In the future, I will place an updated version of this
material at:
