Embossing Plates?

Hello everyone,

I got my first semi large project as a printer, and I want to use some embossing along with letterpress printing. I have seen it done on other similar projects, but can’t figure out where to order the two part copper embossing plate required for this project. Does anyone know where to order them?

Bellow is a photo I found online of the type of plate I am talking about.

Thanks!

Check with Owosso, that’s where i get mine. You don’t really need copper, a mag die and counter would work. Dick G.

Ditto what Dick said! I just received one from Owosso and have been using it a lot. Enjoy + post your photo of your completed project, I would love to see it. Denise

Thank you guys! I checked it out and I think that would be the best way to go for embossing! I will be posting photos when it is all done Denise! (my deadline is April 15th so it wont be for a little while!)
