Printing plates, or press plates as they are sometimes called, are the plates used in the printing process for the cards. Card companies sometime include these plates as inserts in packs, or offer them up as complete sets. This usually results in four distinct 1/1 cards available for each card. Each card is available in the four distinct colours used in the printing process - black, yellow, magenta and cyan. Depending on the printing process used for the set, the printing plates sometimes feature a reversed image, or the proper image.
