    Action
    Getting your press ready to run the Chase Base system is straight forward, follow the advice in our online manuals for trouble free setup.

    Our base sizes allow room for the use of gauge pins without fear of crashing into the base. If the base fills your chase you won't have room for pins on the platen. For chases smaller than 13' x 9' you can order the Adana size base or place a special order.
  • Our bases can be used for other depths of plate but require an adjustment to your inking rollers and sufficient adjustment on your impression lever. See the Training Manuals for a clear guide. If in doubt - just mail us - we're always here to help!

    If you require a bigger or smaller base for different chase sizes, we can make your base to order as we regularly manufacture new batches. Email us your requirements and we'll let you know when we're able to provide your item, then we'll ask you for payment and your custom base will be with you in about two weeks.
  • Lyme Bay plates are processed in water, no harmful chemicals are involved and our plates are recyclable. We have an audited route for any who'd like the guarantee of their used plates being recycled in to other products and we'll publish our recycling achievments at each years end.

    Simply send us your old plates and we'll do the rest and you can tell your customers how green you are! Most of us are influenced in our purchases now by efforts of companies to protect the environment.

  • Transforming The Print Process

    Experienced printers & novices alike have found this system transforms their production process yielding,

    increased turnover...

    improved quality...

    consistent results...
  • Manufactured from high quality aluminium & ground flat by precision engineers, anodised matt black then laser etched, this is the ultimate photopolymer plate mounting system.

    The white relief exposes the details of the high contrast registration grid for a long lasting surface resistant to press chemicals, allowing easy plate mounting year after year. The 10mm grid is easily visible through all foil backed polymer plates allowing small adjustments after mounting for easy alignment. The hard anodise coating is durable & easy to keep clean.
  • Our plates come with a sticky mounting membrane already applied & specially designed to give high tack to the polymer plate side & low tack to the Chase Base side for easy repositioning & easy plate removal after printing.

    Simply replace the plastic carrier sheet on the sticky surface & store your plate in a ziplock bag to use again time after time. If the membrane gets dirty or spoiled, additional sheets can be purchased economically from our store.



Invest in the Chase Base today for easy plate set up with super fast make ready and crisp even inking. For more information about Press Make Ready check out our Training section for a complete guide.
