TYPE-METAL RELIEF PLATES.
A SUPERIOR SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD-CUTS AT MUCH LOWER PRICES.
These plates are engraved almost entirely by photo-chemical means, thus
avoiding the old, slow and tedious method of engraving on wooden blocks,
where the workman is compelled to engrave each line separately by
cutting away the wood around it, often spending many days upon a plate
a few inches square.
In appearance our relief plates are the same as regular stereotypes,
being mounted type high on blocks ready to be set up and printed from,
with type, on any ordinary press.
They can be used directly and will wear as long as any type-metal
plates, but if a great number of impressions are wanted, duplicate
ELECTROTYPES AND STEREOTYPES
can be made from them the same as from wood-cuts.
They have a printing surface as smooth as glass, and the lines are
engraved deeper than they are in hand-cut plates. Notwithstanding the
_low prices_ at which they can be furnished, they are very much
superior to wood-cuts, and in some classes of work are rapidly
taking the place of lithography.
REFERENCES.
Among those who manifest their satisfaction with our work, by
continued orders, we may mention:--D. Appleton & Co., Scribner & Co.,
Frank Leslie, A. D. F. Randolph & Co., G. W. Carleton & Co., The
American Tract Society, Robert Carter & Bros., Munn & Co., Pub.
"Iron Age," Pub. "Illustrated Weekly," Pub. "McGee's Illustrated
Weekly," and also a large part of the principal publishers and
manufacturers throughout the country.
COPY.
Almost all kinds of Prints or Engravings from Wood, Stone, Copper and
Steel may be reproduced directly. _The requisites are, clean, distinct
black lines or stipple work, on white or only slightly tinted paper.
All Photographs and Pencil Sketches must first be drawn in ink._ We
keep a corps of artists constantly employed, trained to do this work
in the best manner. We can make drawings from photographs or tin-types
taken in the usual way. They may be of any size, but should, of course,
show the object distinctly.
Drawings for our use, unless intended to be redrawn, should be on a
_smooth, white_ surface, in _perfectly black_ lines, and usually twice
the dimensions each way of the desired plate.
Copy for fac-similes of handwriting should be in _perfectly black ink_,
on _smooth white_ paper, written with a full pen, and without use of
blotting paper.
