In it is listed the places where you can get custom plates made. Currently Boxcar Press, LetterpressPlates.Com by Elum, and Quickutz all offer custom plate services. What brand die machine do you have at work? Is it one that's made for crafters or is it a professional-grade printmaking industry machine? There are varying reports about which machines the L Let will work in. Some people say it won't work in the Cuttlebug, for example, but it works just fine in mine. I know for sure it works in the Big Shot and BigKick from Sizzix. It works in many of the scrapbooking/crafting machines. Hi Cindy,

It sure looks like it would work if I had the plates. I'm just learning about all of this, my daughter would love her wedding invititations done by letterpress, but not at the prices we have seen! I am very crafty and patient, so looks like a project I can handle. Does anyone know.. where can you buy the design plates.. where do you get the specific wording plates made, and last will it work in a top quality die cut machine?
