    Default Photopolymer plate for PMC

    Hi

    I've got the plate but was wondering if a daylight bulb would work when setting it? or do I have to locate a uv nail dryer (Just sunshine up this neck of the woods is rare at this time of year)

    You need a constant uv source of a decent intensity.
    (like a uv nail lamp) Otherwise you may under or over expose the plate
    either of which would create a poor impression.
    There is a type of plate making kit that you can use
    with a normal light (they're like gel packs)
