Photopolymer / Solarplate Links
I had a great time doing a demo on polymerplate printing last tuesday. Here are some of the resources that were on the handout for the class:
Where I buy my plates: www.photopolymerplates.com/ Kim Becker - owner, very nice. You can tell her Mirka sent you. She is very helpful over the phone and has very affordable rates. Only minus is that there is a minimum 8 plates per order. 8.25 x 11.5” plates come out to be about $9-10 with shipping.
I also buy relief plates for my letterpress from www.boxcarpress.com, they also have a service where they will make a plate for you. All you have to do is send your digital image in.
How -to solar - or photopolymer plates:
Dan Weldens website
Australian site with nice pictures and info
information on how to prepare your digital files
instructions from Jewelery or relief point of view
Supplies (prices 2/2010):
Keep polymer out of landfills and out environment, after you are done with the plate, send them to Boxcar Press.
