Eric's plate system
Eric has developed a very nice system for registering his steel backed photopolymer plates that is pretty damn good. He uses a pin mounting system where the plate has the holes shown, drilled with a drill press on spots left on the plate during processing, and then the plate is dropped onto the two pins locked up in the chase with the magnetic base. He has no plate creep, achieves position based on his preengineered layout from his computer setup, and he can move with ease from one plate to another, and have register that's dead on with multi-color images. Eric often mixes metal type with photopolymer, and does beautiful presswork.
