Thank you Clay. I’ll have a go with 2 (2ply) boards stuck together and will take it from there.?
I have printed without a carrier on larger plates ?but I have some small plates that are below what is allowed by the front feed of the P900.?
Thanks again for your feedback.

There appears to be some variation in the thickness of mat board. Currently, I make my carriers using a solid 2-ply for the base and then another 2-ply with a cut-out window to hold the plate. It probably wouldn’t hurt to have something thinner on the bottom as long as it has some rigidity. I know Dave Marsh makes really cool carriers using thin aluminum sheets for the bottom. And some people are able to print their plates without any carrier at all - although when I have tried doing this the plate skids and I end up with a mess.?
Hello Clay
?
I have just received a pack of 2 ply matt board from Archival Methods and would like to ask the following question. Is the carrier fashioned out of 2 sheets of 2 ply board? One as a base and the
other one with the cut-out window? Or should the base be of a thinner material? I have measured the thickness of 2 boards together and this works out at 1.43mm (not 1.27mm).?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks and a Happy New Year to all.
