If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. ------------------------------- Afternoon all, I’m hoping someone has some knowledge of printing techniques that they can share! We recently inventoried our unaccessioned objects in the store, one of which we found on an early list described as ‘Metal printing plate for the cover of [a journal]’(see attached image). My very limited understanding of printing assumed that for this you would need the plate to have a reverse image, but the text on the plate is the right way round, so I’m not certain if it is was it says it is, or how it would have been used. It’s from 1966 or around then. Can anyone shed any light?
