It also tends to very slightly degrade resolution due to the refraction of the liquid.

Unless your element is damaged, I would not suggest the added expense.  You lose sharpness and gain no real advantage with wet gate printing unless you have base abrasions.

Wet gate printing hides any scratches in the base of the printing elements, the Perc fills in the scratches and has the same refractive index as the celluloid.

Hi, thanks for your responses.
