C&P platen is the way to go to start – go with a smaller one. I have a 12 x 18 & 10 x 12 and I use the smaller one daily (Matilda) Beatrice really barely gets inked up – only for posters. pic of them here http://www.letterpressoftulsa.com
I have a C&P 8 x 12 that I use everyday and a 12 x 18 that I use about once a month – I say for sure go for the larger one so you can do 11 x 17 posters. Otherwise it’s not worth having one barely larger.
Hi all – I just looked into ordering a couple dies (from Atlas) to make a rounded corner business card and they wanted $350 for one! Wow – is that normal? Thanks – Sharon
