For instance, could I order a customized plate from Boxcar press and use it with this letterpress machine? Thanks! Hi there,

First run through and mine cracked right away (just around the edges). I bought it for my wedding invitations and have ordered custom plates from ellum which I've heard are much better quality. Other than the cracking.....this kit is awesome. Just got mine today and had read all about the cracking problem.
