Where to find Solar Plates in Europe?

[Fulvio]

This may be a little off topic... I have used photopolymer gravure plates in the past. I'm not sure but "Solar plates" should be different. I never seen one and I don't know if they are suitable for photography use. However I would like to try one anyway because I think they would be useful also for other things I like to make.

I'm from Italy and I can't find a source for solar plates in Europe. If you know any online store selling solar plates in Europe please let me know.

Thank you!

Hi Fulvio,

I think "Solar Plate" is a product made in the USA. There's another product that I know photopolymer artists like and use with success:

It's Toyobo Printight KM73.

Even we have a distributor of this product here in Istanbul, Turkey. Therefore, there isn't a reason to think that they don't have a distributor in Italy. Ask them using the "Contact Us" link on the Main Product Page:
