@courtneykaminski Courtney,
I’d be delighted to share our upcoming trials and tribulations with the C&P Pilot, and would love to hear all about your experiences as well!  We have had ours for less than a week and still haven’t gotten it moved upstairs!  I’m in the process of ordering all kinds of goodies:  Vanson rubber inks, papers, etc.  Do you already have everything you need?  (You probably do if you’ve been printing for for 3 months.)  Just in case, here is a pretty extensive ad that has a pretty good supply list:  LETTERPRESS%20START%20UP%20SUPPLIES.doc.  Does your Pilot have a Boxcar base?  Mine came with one, but I’ve never printed with polymer plates before.
Best of luck to you, and I hope to hear from you soon!
