Letterpress Printing Today

The Chase Base

The Lyme Bay Press Chase base has been developed to help make the printers life a little easier.  Created from a high quality plate and hard anodised in black to allow the engraved grid to show, allowing ease of alignment for your plates, you’ll wonder how you managed without one. The Chase Base was developed to work with both the Toyobo KF152 and KF95 polymer printing plates.

Letterpress printing plates made from Polymer offer the letterpress printer and the designer much more freedom when creating wonderful pieces of letterpress deliciousness.

We currently manufacture 3 sizes in 2 different depths for each of our plates, you just need to decide which one you would like for you press.  When it’s locked up you just have to remove the backing from your plate and stick it down and you’re off!
