“I just printed that half tone plate y’all made for me a few weeks ago and I just wanted to let you know that it printed like a dream! You guys are the greatest – have I told you that lately?”

"Quality platemaking & professional equipment; superbly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly service; faster turnaround than I ever hope to need; very reasonable prices -- why wouldn't I go to Boxcar for my polymer plates and supplies? Some of the plates Boxcar Press made for us contained script type with quite fine lines. The plates were perfectly clean with no sign of the common polymer pitfalls. All the information of the original design came through brilliantly in the printing."
B. A. Benedict. Blacks Corner Letterpress
"The service I received from Boxcar Press was exemplary! Harold discovered that printing my wedding invitations was to be my first real print project on my little platen press and he offered much needed advice to insure that I did not botch it up! Everything went smoothly and am basking in the complements I’m receiving for my invitations! I credit Harold and Boxcar Press for my printing success! I’m HOOKED!"

"I loved the plates. By far the best plate printing experience I've ever had. Being able to see through the plates was a real dream. I don't think I swore once. And instead of losing hair, I think some grew back."
Michael Russem, satisfied plastic-backed photopolymer plate user. Kat Ran Press. Florence, MA.
"Boxcar rules!"

"The plates were clear, crisp & extremely easy to use with the Boxcar Base."
Ashlea Turner, Third Coast Design. Empire, MI.
"The plate was excellent and took no time to set up on the Boxcar Base. The plate printed clearly and evenly. There were no filled-in letters and the tiniest serifs remained crisp. As my first experience was perfect, I cannot suggest any improvements. I received outstanding support well beyond what I was expecting - as most businesses do not offer such personal attention."
Lyne Mainville. Marsville Press. Ontario, Canada.
"You did such a good job on these plates, so nice and even....you were so helpful and nice - thank you!"
Martha Chiplis. Sherwin Beach Press. Chicago, IL.
"At the Wells College Book Arts Center, I've used the Boxcar Base & polyester-backed plates for imagesetting. The chief characteristics of Boxcar's plates are their ease of use and accuracy. I had placed heaps of faith in steel-backed polymer plates and always forgave their shortcomings. Heck, I didn't even know steel-backed plates had shortcomings, until I gave Harold's system a try. Now makeready & registration are easy. As far as accuracy goes, I was relieved to know Boxcar was prepared to handle the film output and very pleased to see the splotchy little pixels on my screen translate so smoothly into high resolution plates. "
Terrence P. Chouinard. Wells College's Book Arts Center Director and proprietor of the Wing & the Wheel Press. Aurora, New York.
