Plates, Films & Chemistry: Solar Plates Photopolymer Printmaking

U. V. Sensitive Solar Plates can be Exposed in Sunlight

Solar plates are steel-backed, light sensitive, photopolymer printmaking plates designed to provide a safer alternative to traditional etching and relief printing. After exposing with U. V. light, the plate is developed with water. Solar Plate may be exposed using sunlight, but we recommend an exposure system and vacuum frame for consistent results.
