    Hi guys, I bought a printing press ryobi 3302 to print for a church I recently got my art work done and am ready to print with metal plates as the poly plates are bad and terrible to use cannot get work done. I do have the correct plate burner but I have no way to get the film. I need to find someone who can take my file and make the film for me and send to me. I will pay what it is worth and don't expect anything for free. I just need the help. I can pay via paypal and send you the files needed to make the film for me so I can burn the plates with it. I have to pamplets to make approx 11x17 front and back so I need four films made for this. Anyone please?

    Did you check laserproof films already, maybe laser polyplates also.
    Films/plates that you can print on basic A3 laser printer.

    That would work great also if someone here said they will make the plates for me. As i would send them the plates. I would like to get the film but burning my plates would be awesome! I am trying to find a photography shop to make me film that will also work right?? I am new at this. Dumb question but is there any trick on the developing side i would need to know? Any special development to tell them if i find such a place?

    No such thing as a dumb question. If you find someone to burn your plates they will probably have their own system, your plates may not work with their platemaker. As long as the density in the film is correct your good to go, I don't recall what it is off hand. You just need it dark enough to stop light from going through where you don't want it. Film making is shrinking at a rapid rate, so be patient this may take you awhile.

    I use a company in Ohio, they could make film from your files or film and plates for your 3302. They output film for most of the small shops in my area and are very reasonable with their prices, I'm sure they would mail to you.
    Look them up on the web at http://www.x-pressprinting.com or call them. 800-217-4263 or 440-951-8848
