Many plate developers are solvent-based, and therefore may be potentially hazardous. Some can be flammable, have a high biological oxygen demand (BOD)(1) or very high or low pH. Opportunities to reduce waste from platemaking processes can save money through reduced waste disposal costs. Two ways to prevent pollution from plate developing
are aqueous-based plate developing systems and electronic prepress technology.
