Re: where do you get your plates?
Thu, June 22, 2006 - 9:38 AMI work in narrow web flexographic printing. This industry uses polymer plates to print, among other things, pressure-sensitive labels. (You see a lot of these on bottles and jars in the grocery store). So you might be able to have your polymer plates made at any label printer (look in the yellow pages under "labels" and "tags."). The only question would be whether the plate's thickness, hardness, etc. would be what you need for your printing process. (Most common is .067")
Are you creating your art on computer, or doing it the "old-fashioned" way? And how are you producing your negatives?
