Mission Statement
Our mission is to supply the highest-quality letterpress printing plates, hot foil press dies, hot foil stamps, image-setter film, screen printing film, and graphic design services. Therefore, if you are a letterpress printer, hot foil printer, or screen-printer, we can without doubt provide you with the appropriate printing plates, or films. In 1981, we began manufacturing printing plates, making sure they were made to our high-quality standards. Consequently, we know how individual printers’ custom requirements can differ greatly, and we can tailor our products to your individual needs.
Our magnesium hot foil printing plates are suitable for pewter embossing. Additionally, we offer a high-quality positive and negative film output service using our family of ECRM and Linotronic imagesetters. These films are very well suited to litho, screen printing, and more. Also, our custom dies, stamps, and photopolymer plates are compatible with virtually any machine.
What are our plates used for?
Magnesium Plates
Our Magnesium Plates come in thicknesses of 6.35mm (3 Gauge), 4mm (8 Gauge – Recommended for beginners), and 1.63mm (16 Gauge). These can be used as Hot Foil stamps, Letterpress Printing Plates, Moulding Dies, and more.
Photopolymer Plates
Our Photopolymer plates come in a range of thicknesses and can be made with a standard foil-backing or a magnetic steel-backing. As a result, these plates are easy to mount onto any letterpress machine and are ideal for all letterpress applications.
Embossing Sets
Our embossing sets can come in a range of thicknesses and materials. They can be made with 2 magnesium parts, or a Photopolymer “Male” part and a Magnesium “Female”. These have been specially designed for a perfect emboss.
