Our Boxcar bases are precisely engineered from cast aluminum, then ground and gridded to perfection, to provide the ideal foundation for our plastic-backed plates. Plastic-backed plates are easy to cut, transparent, lighter and less expensive than steel-backed photopolymer, and allow for ultra-accurate registration when mounted on the Boxcar Grid Base. And our Boxcar film adhesive will hold your printing plates on our base better than any other repositionable method on the market.” (4) Specially Formulated Inks for Letterpress Printing - Starter Kit from NA Graphics: Oil Based Letterpress Ink Assortment, Yellow, Green, Brown, Job Black, Mixing White, Deep Blue, Orange and Deep Red, 1/4 pound tubes. – brand new in box/never used.
