This subject known as Presswork - I is one of the key subject to make a clear and sound knowledge in some of the major print production systems and supplies. This will enable the students to make judgement about the aspect of printing, particularly the selection of a particular process to choose for a specific print production. Objective: The students will be able to (i) understand the basic and clear classification of all kinds of printing processes; (ii) understand the details divisions and subdivisions of letterpress printing machines, their applications and uses, characteristics and identifications of their products- merits and demerits of various letterpress machines; (iii) understand the principal mechanism of various letterpress and sheet-fed machines, their constructional differences in the printing unit and operational features; (iv) understanding the various feeding and delivery mechanism in printing machines; (v) appreciate the relational aspects of various materials used in presswork. Pre -Requisite: Elementary knowledge of Basic Printing & Production Contents: Group-A Hrs/unit Marks Unit 1 Relief Printing 10 10 1.1 Classifications of various relief printing machines, their applications and uses, characteristics of the products. 1.2 Details of divisions and subdivisions of letterpress printing machines, their applications and uses, characteristics and identifications of their products- merits and demerits of various letterpress machines General unit wise division of a printing machine.

  • Chamfer Plane
    Chamfer Plane Christopher Swingley Introduction These plans are for a wooden chamfer plane modelled after the chamfer plane shown in Making Traditional Wooden Planes by John M. Whelan. My plans differ slightly because I used a two piece laminated plane body instead of the single block used by Whelan. My plane iron is a bit wider than his, so my plane body is also slightly larger. Detailed instructions on plane making appear in Whelan’s book and should be consulted as a supplement to these plans. Plans The first set of plans show the body of the plane. Two pegs through the body will strengthen the connection between the halves of the body. Constructing the plane this way is much easier because we can saw and chisel the mortise. 6 3/4" 2 1/2" 2" 1 7/8" 2 7/8" 1 1/4" Left half Left half Right half Interior side Heel Mortise 2 3/4" 2 3/4" 7/8" Heel Toe 1 3/4" 3 7/8" 1 7/8" 1" 3/8" Left half 7/8" Bottom side 1 1/4" 3/8" The following diagrams show the dimensions of the stop that forms the throat in front of the iron. It rests at the front of the mortise in the body, in front of the wedge, and iron. (Insert figure here) Construction Notes *Construction begins by sawing the two halves of the plane body to size.

  • Graphic File Preparation for Letterpress Printing ©2016
    GRAPHIC FILE PREPARATION FOR LETTERPRESS PRINTING ©2016, Smart Set, Inc. COMMON GRAPHIC FILE FORMATS Vector Formats .ai (Adobe Illustrator) Native Illustrator file format. Best format for importing into Adobe InDesign. Illustrators’s native code is pdf, so saving files in .ai contains the portability of pdf files, but retaining all the editing capabilities of Illustrator. (AI files must be opened in the version of Illustrator that they were created in (or higher). .pdf (Adobe Portable Document Format) A vector format which embeds font and raster graphics within a self-con- tained document that can be viewed and printed (but not edited) in Adobe’s Reader freeware. All pre-press systems are in the process of transitioning from PostScript workflows to PDF workflows. Because of the ability to em- bed all associated fonts and graphics, pdf documents can be generated from most graphics software packages and can be utilized cross-platform and without having all versions of different software packages. Many large printers will now only accept pdf files for output. .eps (Encapsulated PostScript) Before Adobe created the pdf format, PostScript allowed files to be created in a device-independent format, eps files printed on a 300 dpi laser printer came out 300 dpi, the same file printed to an imagesetter would come out at 2540 dpi. PostScript files are straight code files, an Encapsulated PostScript includes a 72 dpi raster preview so that you can see what you’re working with in a layout program such as Quark XPress or InDesign. COMMON GRAPHIC FILE FORMATS Raster Formats .tiff (Tagged Image File Format) Tiffs are binary images best for raster graphics.

  • Letterform Anatomy
    Letterform Anatomy Guidelines: Baseline: a real or imaginary horizontal line upon which the base of each capital rests; Waistline (meanline): a real or imaginary line that marks the height of the body of a small lowercase letter (often is the same as the x-height); x; Capline (cap height): a real or imaginary horizontal line that runs along the tops of the capital letters; Ascender line: a real or imaginary line that marks the proper height for the tall lowercase letters of a typeface like b, d, f, h, k, and i; for some typefaces, this line is the same as the cap height; b, d, f, h, i, j, k, l, t Descender line: a real or imaginary line that marks the proper length for the lowercase g, j, p, q, and y of a typeface; g, j, p, q, y 2. Ascenders and Descenders Ascender: A stroke on a lowercase character that extends above the meanline; Descender: A stroke on a lowercase character that falls below the baseline; X-height: a real or imaginary line that shows how tall to make the lowercase letters of a typeface; the distance from the baseline to the meanline. It marks the proper optical height for the lowercase letter x. Typically, this is the height of lowercase letters and is most easily measured on the lowercase x; Although X-height is not a unit of measurement, it is significant because it conveys the visual impact of the type size. In other words, typefaces of the same point size may appear smaller or larger because of the difference in their x-heights.

It was a single lane structure with a prominent sign warning that anyone driving faster than a walk would be assessed a fine of one dollar' Whenever I see a picture of a horse drawn sleigh about to enter a covered bridge 1 want to yell, "Stop! There's no snow in there." 1 saw my second covered bridge, a sturdy two-lane structure with a side footpath, at the entrance to the Shelburne Museum grounds. Essentially a preservation, the museum began its work none too soon. Had its building program not been under way in 1949 when the state decided to replace its last double-lane, covered bridge with a concrete structure, it is certain that this kind of Vermont landmark would have i disappeared entirely. The 168 foot bridge was dismantled and Bill and curator Jean Burks reassembled timber by timber at the museum. Probably One of the first books on tools that I was able to buy because they were fairly dark inside, covered bridges were when I first began collecting is Woodworking Tools at the often referred to as "kissing bridges," but that's another story. Shelburne Museum by Frank H. Wildung, published in 1957, Hank Allen and I walked across the bridge accompanied which documents the collection at that time.
