The Printers' Handbook OF TRADE RECIPES, HINTS, & SUGGESTIONS RELATING TO LETTERPRESS AND LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING BOOKBINDING, STATIONERY ENGRAVING, ETC. WITH MANY USEFUL TABLES AND AN INDEX COMPILED BY CHARLES THOMAS JACOBI Manager of the Chiswick Press ; Examitur in Typography to the City and Guilds of London Institute; Author of ^^ Printing, a Practical " Treatise on Typography ;" " The Printers' Vocab7tlary ; ;^' "On the Making and Issuing of Books etc. Second Edition, Enlarged and Classified LONDON THE CHISWICK PRESS, 20 fi^ 21, TOOKS COURT CHANCERY LANE 1891 z JIB PREFACE TO THE ENLARGED AND 1?^ CLASSIFIED EDITION. THE compiler issues this Second Edition with a hope that it may prove as acceptable as at its first appearance. The facts that the first edition was soon exhausted, and continued inquiries were being made for the book, are the best excuse for its reappearance. Much useful matter has been added, and an attempt has been made to classify it under the heads of departments or trades. To have given more explicit acknowledgment would, perhaps, have been better, but, as intimated in the earlier preface, the same item is so frequently repeated in the different journals, and sometimes in a varying form, that it would have been difficult to have traced its origin. Owing to this repetition and variety in the mode of treat- ment, the reader's indulgence is requested if the compiler has failed in a few instances to discriminate between these duplicate fugitive pieces. In addition to the journals named in the original preface, he is indebted to the following : — British Printer. British Bookmaker. Effective Advertiser. Printing World. 1267595 INTRODUCTORY TO THE FIRST EDITION. IN putting this book before the Trade, the compiler offers his apologies and tenders his thanks to the proprietors of the various technical journals, both English and foreign, from which he has culled the bulk of these recipes, etc. ; others are the result of his own practical experience. He trusts that this compilation—the result of many years' collection—will be found useful alike to the master and to the workman, for he believes no such work is at present in existence. It is hoped it will be of service to all interested or engaged in the art of printing and its allied trades. The want of such a book has long been felt, for, owing to the fact that the information is spread over a vast number of sources and repeated over and over again in different journals, there has always been a diflR- culty in turning up any particular subject when required. Further, the compiler has not had the opportunity of verifying all the matter contained in this work, so in many instances it has been reproduced exactly as it appeared from time to time. If the demand should warrant a new edition at some future date, the compiler may be able to extend its use- fulness, and he will be obliged by any hints, suggestions, or additional information suitable for the work being sent to him personally at the Chiswick Press, Tooks Court, Chancery Lane, London.

Called “xylographic printing,” it was used before Gutenberg for illustrations, playing cards, and small documents. Moveable type allowed corrections and editing. A wood engraving uses the end grain, where a wood cut uses the plank grain. Polymer plates are made from digital files which drive special engraving machines to produce relief plates. These plates are popular with many of today’s letterpress printers who produce invitations, and collectible prints. Metal relief cylinders were used to print repetitive designs, such as those on wrap - ping paper and wall paper. In the 1930s, the invention of cellophane led to the development of the anilox roller and flexographic printing. Today, flexography prints most of the flexible packaging film which accounts for about half of all packaged products. Hobbyists, artists, and printmakers cut away non-printing areas on sheets of linoleum to create relief surfaces. Wood cut Wood engraving and Metal plate Relief cylinder Flexographic plate Linoleum cut Foundry type began with Gutenberg and evolved through Jenson, Garamond, Moveable type Caslon and many others. Garamond was the first printer to cast type that was sold to other printers. By the 1880s there were almost 80 foundries in the U.S. One newspaper could keep one foundry in business. Machine typesetting changed the status quo and the Linotype had an almost immediate effect on type foundries. Twenty-three foundries formed American Type Founders in 1890.

Place and space are significant to the progress of all trades, but, with the exception of the James Raven’s Bookscape: geographies of printing and publishing in London, these concepts have generally been overlooked when it comes to printing and the products of the press.

Not listed here are presses outside the accessioned collections, such as two Vandercook proof presses (a Model 4T and a Universal III) that are now earning an honest living in the office printing shop. At some future time, no doubt, they too will be retired into the collections. The Division of Graphic Arts was established in 1886 as a special kind of print collection with the purpose of representing “art as an industry.” For many years collecting was centered around prints, together with the plates and tools that made them. Not until the middle of the twentieth century did the Division begin to collect printing presses systematically. Even more recently, the scope of collecting has been broadened to include printing type and type-making apparatus.

    Oak Knoll Special Catalogue No. 19 1 OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Oak Knoll Books has handled many examples of type specimen catalogues over the years. One would think that interest in old books showing type faces would have gone by the wayside long ago but nothing could be further from the truth. I was recently give a book by Tony Cox, a bookseller friend of mine, for bedside reading while I was visiting him in England and found the stories of type and their development fascinating (Simon Garfield. Just My Type). For those of you who have seen the film Helvetica you can relate to the impact type faces have on our lives. We are now offering you a selection of interesting specimen books and booklets that might inspire those of you doing design work or educate those of you that are doing research. And go back and reread McGrew’s American Metal Type Faces of the 20th Century and Annenberg’s Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues (both Oak Knoll Press publications) for their invaluable information (see last page of our catalogue for more details). Happy hunting! Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books.
