Polymer Plates

I am starting a letterpress business and I would like to make my own Polymer Plates. What plate making unit is the best for creating the plates. What other equipment would I need to complete the process. Thanks, Will

Here is a source, and I would think it to be a good option for a beginner, since they will provide help as well:

Another possibility is Crown Flexo. < www.crownflexo.com > They’re who I get my plates from when I’m running photopolymer and they’re extremely fast and extremely high quality. Competitive in pricing, too. I’ve been very satisfied with them. Eventually, I’d like to produce at least some of my own plates in-house, but it’s expensive to start and requires a fair amount of practice to get good output.
