Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone can shed some light on how to create a stamp on photopolymer plate. I know there is another thread that explains the process and I have followed this but still can't seem to get it right. My first few attemps left no impression on the photopolymer plate, yesterday I tried again and managed to get the image transfered to the plate but it was not raised just flat transfer. (Hope that makes sense)

In most instructions it is said to leave the plate in the uv lamp for a little over a minute I left mine in last night for an hour and that's the first time i saw am impression on the plate which has now lead me to believe that it may be my uv lamp which is the problem. So my question is what sort of watt does the uv lamp need to be and how long should this process typically take. I purchased the basic kit from Cookson and the exact same uv lamp from ebay. The lamp is 15watt.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thank you
