Great source for bases (not magnetic), photopolymer plates (both steel and adhesive backed) and information on printing with photopolymer. Harold is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Type foundry AND fine press (Arion Press). Not only do they make type, they also offer deesign services and photopolymer platemaking.

NA Graphics
Not only one of THE best sources for letterpress supplies, but Fritz is also one of the most friendly and knowledgeable people in the business. He bought out the remaining stock of Kelsey and Vandercook, so this is a great source for parts. He also sells lots of printing manuals. Great Prices.

Octagon Digital Media
One of Octagon's many services is making film for photopolymer plates. The prices are good, the service is first-rate and they are FAST. I wouldn't get my films made any place else.
