<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 43855, member: 54&quot;]WOOOOooooooooooooo...!!!&nbsp; Scary!!!&nbsp; I think it is an etching on copper which of course is usually made so the image can be printed from the plate.&nbsp; But a &quot;printing plate&quot; per se, made in a printing plant to print books etc, no I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; Those would always be mounted on dense hardwood or plywood at least 3/4 inch thick, with edges exactly matching edges of the copper plate.&nbsp; Is yours a copper plate only or a plate firmly glued to a wood block?&nbsp; Also the copper plate has corrosion pits in it, maybe ok for a hobby project but intolerable for a commercial printing block since all those defects would hold ink and show up in the printed images.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
