Plate 1 over one another in lines and solids. In printing these illustrations two different cuts were used. Fig. A was printed first, and then Fig. B was printed on top of Fig. A, but shifted half an inch to the right.
The reader will notice that the cuts are engraved to show the result of printing solids over solids; half-tone lines over half tone lines; tint lines over tint lines; solids over quarter-tone lines, and quarter-tone lines over solids. These seven pages will certainly prove to be of special value to all printers who employ engravers or who do label work. For example, Fig. 200 clearly illustrates what a label printer can accomplish with two good colors.
Plates 29 and 30.—These two plates show a variety of tints produced by the lapping of different tints over one another in lines and solids. Two different cuts were used in printing these illustrations. Fig. C was printed first, and then Fig. D was printed on top of it, but shifted one-quarter of an inch to the right. These

cuts were engraved to show the result of printing solids over solids; half-tone lines over half-tone lines, and tint lines over tint lines. Good use of these effects can be made, not only in fine label work, but also in elegant card work, or ornamental printing of any description. For example we refer the reader to the specimen cards on Plates 49 and 67.
