Offset Lithography a Treatise on Printing in the Lithographic Manner, from Metal Plates on Rubber Blanket Offset Presses, With Which Is Incorporated, ... on Tin Plate Decorating (Classic Reprint)

During the recent past we have had many inquiries for a text-book on offset lithography. We have sold several hundred books of various kinds that have devoted more or less space to offset printing, but none of them have exploited the subject so thoroughly as we believe it should be. Therefore, we have compiled and published this book, which we call Offset Lithography. In its compilation We have quoted freely from Metal Plate Printing, by the same author, and have also quoted from the writings of many expert workers in the offset line. We have also used the information contained in various articles which have appeared recently in the NATIONAL LITHOGRAPHER, and have endeavored to make this volume as plain and understandable as our knowledge of the English language permits. We have tried to avoid, as far as possible, all chemical and scientific technical terms, substituting plain English where the information could be conveyed in that way. In offering this book to the trade, we do it feeling that it will supply a want. That the many workers who are in need of information along this line may be able to find it between these covers we hope and trust. As Photo-L ithography is becoming more and more an adjunct to offset printing, it has been deemed expedient to add a digest of that process to this work, that the offset worker may keep in touch with the camera and its important and rapidly growing service in modern lithography. As Tin Plate Decorating is all done by the offset process we feel that it also deserves a place in this volume and have included a concise and thorough chapter. WARREN C. BROWNE. New York City,
