Susan,


I suppose they should be call polymer photo gravure or photopolymer gravure
or polyphotomergravvytypes, but those little plastic plates are sure fun to
play with. The fact that they are non-toxic is a big plus for me!  I ordered
a press.

As long as those photopolymers are based on monomers like acrylamide etc.,
the "non-toxicity" seems at least questionable...

people calling plastic gravures "Photo Gravures."

"plastic gravures"...  do you mean polymer plate gravures?    What's wrong
with calling them "photo gravures"?
