THE DIFFERENT
METHODS OF PRINTING
By Theodore De Vinne
Printing, the act, art, or practice of impressing letters, characters, or figures on paper, cloth, or other material; the business of a printer; typography.
Typography the art of printing, or the operation of impressing letters and words on forms of types.
—Webster.
Printing, the business of a printer; the art or process of impressing letters or words; typography; the process of staining linen with figures.
Typography, the art of printing.
—Worcester.
Print, to press, mark, stamp or infix letters, characters, forms, or figures.
—Richardson.
THESE definitions of printing are based on its derivation from the Latin, premo, to press, and on the supposition that its most characteristic feature is impression. From a technical point of view, the definitions are incomplete; for printing and typography are made synonymous, while many leading, but totally different, methods of impressing letters, characters and figures, are not even noticed. Impression is employed in the manufacture of calico, paper-hangings, oil-cloth, figured crockery, and in many other arts which have no connection with each other. Under right conditions, the action or the impress of light makes a photograph. Under different conditions, the pressure of the breath makes hollow glassware. Moulding, coining, stamping and embossing are other methods of impression; but the men who practise these methods are not known as printers. The word printing has acquired a conventional meaning not entirely warranted by its derivation. It means much more than impression. It is commonly understood as a process in which paper and ink are employed in conjunction with impression.
Printing and typography are not strictly synonymous, as may be inferred from the definitions. Typography, although the most useful, is not the only form of printing. Printing on paper with ink is done by four methods. Each method is, practically, a separate art, distinct from its rivals in its theory, its process, and its application. These methods are:
Steel-plate or Copper-plate printing, in which the subject is printed from an etching or engraving below the surface of a plate of steel or of copper.
Lithography, in which the subject is printed from a transferred engraving on
