Letterpress Polymer Platemaking Demo

[@A3Kr0n]

I remember making plates for a pad printer long ago. Back then we had a second sheet we'd expose that had dots all over it. I called it the "Gravure" sheet, but that's probably wrong. It was supposed to break up large open areas with pits for the ink to get sucked out of in a more controlled fashion.

I have been looking everywhere for a good video on this process without using a specialty device or machine. This video is excellent; thank you. I am a screen printer and wanted to apply the exposure method to stamp making. I did find some information, but nothing specific. Could a thermal printer with a scorching liquid do something similar? I love printmaking and discovering new techniques from experts in the field.

Thank you, this is great! Do you have a good resource for purchasing the photo-sensitive polymer plates?

If you get 20 to 100 prints, would you get more prints after the second exposure?

Where buy plates

[@DaddyTugsTV]

what kind of light did you used in your exposure unit

[@RECESSPRESS1]

It was an inexpensive personal home tanning unit that I build the box around. It had four UV bulbs. But any UV bulbs would work. This is a similar method to making a screen printing exposure unit and there is much information online on those, too.

This is basically a stamp, no?

Why you guys are not using 3d printing???❤❤❤
