Lithography
Revision as of 00:56, 15 September 2020 by Leah Zeldes Smith (talk | contribs)
Offset printing is a type of lithography sometimes used to print fanzines, but less commonly than mimeography or photocopying, being more expensive.
| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| Reproduction by adhesion of ink to prepared surfaces; metal sheets are used nowadays (stone was the original surface, hence the name) which can reproduce in accurate detail and with large solid areas; photos can be reproduced in half-tone. The process came into considerable use with Assorted Services, tho presently commercials were found who could do the job cheaper than Ackerman & Co. (It costs plenty anyway.) Our front cover [in first ed] is an example of this process. |
