I used to have many cases of type for my printing, but due to my age/downsizing, I sold my print shop. Recently, I came across a C&P Pilot press, so I have returned. Thanks to rollers from Todds Press Time, and a leg repair by T and T Press Restoration, the press is functional.
I am printing with polymer plates on dampened Strathmore watercolor postcard stock. The left side of my prints seem slightly lighter than the right side (the boldest characters are on the right side so it could be illusory). Is it worth trying to improve on this? What is the best way for me to do this with polymer plates?
