Good presses for digital printing?

I’m wondering if there are specific presses that are easier to use with photopolymer plates than others? I had figured I would have to convert a letterpress for photopolymer plates - is there a press already suited to plates? or a letterpress which will easily convert for this purpose?

I’m thinking the primary function of the press will be for personal stationery..

Thanks all for the help. :)

The letterpress does not have to be converted but the plate needs to be blocked up to .918 high. As far as ease of use I think a table top hand operated press is a good way to start.I started with Miehles and Heidelbergs which are heavy floor mounted automatic production machines. check other threads on this site letterpress for beginners many of your questions have already been asked and answered.
