Object history | The process differs from most other methods of block colour printing in that only one block is used for all the colours, an increasing amount of the surface being cut away between the printing of each colour. The edition is fixed in advance, and the method proceeds by continuous overprinting on the same sheets. Considerable variety is obtained by differences of inking and the use of overlay at the press, and each print is therefore unique. |
