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.

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.

While taking into account recent experience, the authors explore some subjects that should be included in a digital typography course and describe the various trades it would be aimed at. This paper concentrates on the computer science aspect and gives a basic bibliography. KEY WORDS Digital typography Curriculum Tuition 1 PROJECT DIDOT In 1990, the EEC launched its Comett II project, with its main aims being to place greater emphasis on advanced technology training and to ensure that cooperation between univer- sities and the industrial world is carried out at a European level. Project Didot2 was set in motion in this context, with the help of seven other partners.3 The aim of this three-year project is mainly to draw up a European curriculum for teaching digital typography,4 to implement the required software tools and to try out this curriculum in a teaching environment [4]. Among the experimental workshops organized for this purpose [5] was a two-day seminar which took place in Reading (UK) in February 1991 [6] as well as a one-week seminar organized in Lausanne (Switzerland) in September 1991 [7,8].

Coueignoux Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on May the 23rd, 1975, in partial fulfill- ment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ABSTRACT Three contributions are made to the generation of Roman printed fonts: a descriptive model, a generating program, CSD, and a line setting program, FRANCE. The model is based on a linguistic study of the con- sistency of Roman printed characters. Characters are de- composed into primitives. To represent a letter by a char- acter, one uses a specific combination of primitives; a grammar is given, which governs these combinations within the Roman style. The repeated use of the same drawing to represent a primitive in more than one combination differ- entiates the characters of a font from other fonts; further- more, parameters are used to specify the drawings and there exist relationships among the parameters for the different drawings of a font. Related parameters are gathered into families; global transformations for each of the families well describe elementary operations on fonts like boldening, size variations, etc.

  • Development of Computer Typesetting
    Early steps in computer typesetting in the 1960s Jonathan Seybold, September 2018 1961–1964 Michael Barnett’s “Experiments in Typesetting” In 1961, Michael Barnett, an associate professor at MIT wrote a computer program that could produce punched paper tape output to drive a phototypesetting machine. He used this to produce the “Tail” from Alice in Wonderland, and a phototypeset press release. These were the first documents that were phototypeset from output generated by a computer. In 1962 Barnett received a research grant to continue this experiments. This lead to development of the PC6 system, which was used to produce a variety of reports, pamphlets and other publications in late 1963 and early 1964.1 Hardware: IBM 709/90 computer and a Photon 560 phototypesetter. Software: Written in Fortran, with a few routines written in FAP (Fortran Assembler). Written for a specific Photon 560 set-up. Typefonts were identified by disk position and row number. The TYPRINT program for text output composed text to fit a predefined page width and depth. Lines were broken after the last complete word that would fit on that line. There was no attempt at hyphenation. Pages were arbitrarily broken after the last line that would fit on the page. Special commands could be embedded in the text to tie text elements together. When it encountered these, the program would simply make the page as long as necessary to accommodate all of the text in the “no break” area. Given the scientific academic setting, the most notable feature of TYPRINT was a program written by J.M.
