Evaluating exposure

When exposing positives for photopolymer plates, it is important to choose an exposure that just hardens the plate so that it prints pure white in areas where the film is clear. The exposure for this test strip is spot on, but it is apparent that I have a contrast problem because the plate goes from white to black in about four f-stops.
