Sussing Trade Shop Facilities

5) PLATE GAUGE—Most trade shops make .067˝ flexo plates daily. But if you use different gauges (.045˝, .090˝, .107˝, etc.), make sure your trade shop keeps the appropriate photopolymer on hand. Also, not many trade shops make gravure cylinders or rubber plates. If you have a regular need for these, check out the trade shop's capabilities.
