I've just unearthed a closet full of printing plates that had been walled in many years ago. (Our construction project is yielding all sorts of treasures.) These plates were used to produce full color illustrations of art objects that were generally tipped into publications. Some are copper, some are metal. Our publications department has indicated that they are only interested in the copper plates. If anyone has experience with printing plates or can offer recommendations about keeping or not keeping them, please contact me. Thanks.
