[BCMA] Looking for a source of printing plates.

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello All

Burnaby Village Museum is looking for possible supplies for etched magnesium dies (for the printing press).

The only person who was producing new printer's type passed away several years ago and his equipment was sold off.

BVM have switched to using these etched plates mounted on standard size wood blocks for our printing press.

We would like to know the names and contact information of any suppliers you may have dealt with.

It would be good to know who is doing printing demonstrations and what press you may be using, and if you know of any source of metal printing type - preferably 12 point or larger.

Thank you,

TomG / Lorenda C
