Is there any source for glss plates coated with a dry emulsion and sensatized?

Don't want to do wet-plate chemistry.

Drem Grad: Thanks. I have sent them an e-mail. Do you know that they can help with this?

All I know is that they've supplied photographic plates in the past and that they're still in business, although the website emphasizes holography plates now. Might as well ask whether photo plates are still a regular production item, and if not, whether they can produce them to special order at a reasonable cost.

That be about ten bucks a plate at today's exchange rate.

I am exchanging e-mails with them now. I'll let you know what the current situation is when more information is available. So far I have found that they indeed have a panchromatic emulsion. I know that people do it, but I just don't see myself coating plates myself.

Dry plates aren't going to look anything like wet plate. It will look exactly like regular film, except on glass instead of on film.
