Penrose's Annual: The Process Year Book Review of the Graphic Arts

Abstract

MR. GAMBLE, in his editorial review of process work, looks back twenty-seven years to the first, volume of this annual and remarks upon the improvement of the process block sinoe then. He considers ‘that’ it is now so perfect that there is little if any possibility of advance in this direction. “The signs of the times are that the process block has passed its prime and that there will be a slow and steady diminution of its employment.” Rotary photogravure and off-set lithography are improving, and collotype is reviving, its most important application being in the highest grade of colour work.
