I remember making plates for a pad printer long ago. Back then we had a second sheet we'd expose that had dots all over it. I called it the "Gravure" sheet, but that's probably wrong. It was supposed to break up large open areas with pits for the ink to get sucked out of in a more controlled fashion.
It was an inexpensive personal home tanning unit that I build the box around. It had four UV bulbs. But any UV bulbs would work. This is a similar method to making a screen printing exposure unit and there is much information online on those, too.
Wonderful video! You showed and explained everything so well. Thank you! :)
Thank you!

You're welcome and thank you I hope it was useful.
Thank you, this is great! Do you have a good resource for purchasing the photo-sensitive polymer plates?
Thank you!👍🏻
Awesome, thank you!
You're welcome!!
Thank you for sharing.
If you get 20 to 100 prints, would you get more prints after the second exposure?
Thank you kindly.
You're welcome
