Where to find Photopolymer plates in Toronto

Does anyone know where I can find photopolymer plates in toronto? I’m also wondering how one cuts photopolymer plates without destroying them - they are so easily bent. Any suggestions great!

Also if anyone knows about any classes in the GTA/Southern ontario that would be great as well. Thanks!!!

Thank you!

Check the yellow pages there are a few companies that make them.Ask for plates without metal on the back and you can cut them with scissors or a utility knife.Most suppliers will mount your plate to metal or wood making them type high. I have used KDS Graphics in Scarborough on Midland Ave. for the last 20 years. Photopolymer plates,magnesium foil and embossing dies, plastic counters and brass cup dies for combination foil and emboss. Feel free to E mail me with any questions.
