Photopolymer Platemaking Services — Frontline Arts Consent Preferences

Frontline Arts offers platemaking and screen burning services so you can print from the comfort of your home.

Frontline Arts now has Letterpress Polymer Platemaking services with KF-95 adhesive-backed plates from Boxcar Press. These plates can be printed on our gridded Boxcar base on the Vandercook Universal I. It's a great way to quickly create a letterpress image and text without hand-setting type or carving a block!

Fees are based on each individual order, but please note that since we produce these plates completely by hand, it still takes 1 hr of production time for even the smallest plate. Call or email for more information and a FREE consultation to discuss your project. 

Requirements:

  • Image must be a vector file (line art) or outlined text

  • Dots can be no smaller than 1pt; lines no thinner than 0.5pt

  • Size is restricted to about 5x5" for what we have in stock, but please call to quote larger plates. We can only expose a plate up to 8 x 10"

Platemaking Rates:

The minimum order costs approximately $60 ($52 + approx $0.32/sq in of plate + film).

We need 1-2 weeks of turnaround time, so please plan ahead.

50% of the estimate is due upon placing the order, with the remainder of the balance due upon completion of the job.
