Small letterpress press

[sean3325]

Do any of have have any experience using a Kelsey 3"x5" (or something similar)? Is making photopolymer plates a realistic option in my little 1-bedroom apt? Thanks!

Making the plates yourself?

[sean3325]

Yes.

Or... is there a place that will make them for me?

Maybe this will be of some assistance:
Don’t Press Me - Letterpress Studio, Invitations, Stationary, Letterhead, Business Cards » Making Photopolymer Plates

Or, if you want to pay someone else,
Boxcar Press: letterpress printing, letterpress pre-press and photopolymer processing, and digital letterpress printing supplies for the 21st century. Home of the Boxcar Base and one awesome letterpress print shop.

So, they'll make the plates from my artwork and send 'em back to me? That rules, thanks!
