Twenty years is but a short interval
ln-the dirooologyof an art that Is more
than four hundred years okl, bat a good
deal ha been done for the hoprove-
ment of printing between the. years
1870 and 180. Cylinder presses have
supplanted hand and platen presses in
nrintins wood cuts and Urge editions
of fine books. -' Dry paper - has taken
tlie Dlace of damn paper. In many
largo printing bouses the appliances for
dampening have been abolished, or set
aside to be used only for rough and
hand mado papers. '
Smooth surface papers of moderate
price have been introduced that take a
(harper impression end show clearer
grays and more vigorous blacks than
can be bad from impressions on the
luxurious India -and Japan, papers.
Easy working' and (3 amble black inks
are as ouuison now as they were scarce
twenty years agi Electrotype plates
are made of smooth surface, and are
curved with unbanned lines to fit. tlie
cylinder of rotary printing snacblnes
on which they produce piesseoik that
fully meets the most .exacting require
ment. ' ,-. , i -i.j ; ; -.
Last, but not least, the final pressing
of the printed work, which makes a

pressing in the fold than was ever done
