Seven colour litho

[Pokey]

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.
