Glossary Of Printing Terms

Chromolithography An unique method for making multi-colour prints. This type of colour printing stemmed from the process of lithography, and it includes all types of lithography that are printed in colour. When chromolithography is used to reproduce photographs, the term photochrome is frequently used. Lithographers sought to find a way to print on flat surfaces with the use of chemicals instead of relief or intaglio printing.
Chromolithography became the most successful of several methods of colour printing developed by the 19th century, and it was initially mostly used in advertising. Nowadays it is used as fine art instead of advertisements, and they are hard to find because of poor preservation and cheaper forms of printing replaced it. |
