    Question Looking For 3D Printer To recreate Rubber Marginals (see photo)

    I am inquiring about finding a 3D printer that can recreate rubber marginal for the purpose of offset printing.
    Marginals are pretty flat rubber that we manually place on top of a thick, black, sticky pad.
    These are then placed on drums that rotate on our presses, continually dip into ink (red or black) and then transfer onto paper.

    - These marginals are made up of rubber that can handle runs from 1,000 up to 100,000.

    The way that we currently do this is very time consuming and antiquated. We have to print on clear film, expose on the rubber, put in chemicals/water to wash and the bake the sheets.

    Ideally I would like to see if this is somethin that can have a 3D build or with a laser that etches out of an already cured rubber sheet.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    -Stephen
