    Default Seven colour litho

    Hello,

    I haven't posted to the Lounge before so this may be a bit out of tune...

    I found an interesting piece of old (1949) lithographic printing here:

    Mother Goose Prints

    It really must have been some work to set up a job like that 60 years ago! (Did they put those sheets through the press seven times?)

    I wonder if Graphic Enterprises is still around...

    OK, enough rambling for now!

    They were doing 7 and 8 color process commercial printing even using continuous tone offset lithography (no halftone screen) since at least the 1920s.
    They knew their stuff.

    And that was before they had magenta.
