Description
This plate material is available for purchase but in limited quantities. We will continue to seek to find an alternative or additional sources. Toray WF95CH2 clear hard plate can handle a deep bite into all thicknesses of uncoated letterpress papers with minimal compression. It has a transparent plastic-backing for mounting on a Standard Boxcar Base. You can cut these plates with scissors. If purchasing unexposed plastic-backed polymer plates, you’ll also want to purchase our Boxcar film adhesive to adhere your plates to your base.
- For use on the Standard Boxcar Base. Called Seafoam Plates.
- This is the plate we have tested and use at Boxcar Press (with our Heidelberg Cylinders, Vandercooks, and Windmills).
- At 70 Durometer (our hardest plastic plate), it’s good for fine lines down to .25 pt and dots 1 pt thick. The lines will hold up under deep impressions with this plate without distortion.
- When washed out, background is smoky clear with a pale blue cast and relief is very pale blue.
- Stouffer 21 Step Exposure Scale is 15-17.
- With a harder durometer, this plate may dry out, become brittle, and curl quicker than softer plastic backed plates (durometer of 64 and lower)
