In this video, Howard explains how halftones were used to introduce photography in newspapers and books starting in the late 1880s. Howard also shows and prints a large halftone as an example.

As a 5th and unfortunately most likely final generation newspaper employee. Not in the printing but delivery side of the business. I find these video's fascinating. Thank you

Glad I came across this. Thank you. For years I've had a number of those copper (?) plates mounted on wood blocks and wondered exactly what they were and how they were used. I instinctively knew they had something to do with printing. Don't recall how I even came by them.

Does a plate like this allow for only a certain number of impressions before it wears out? Could this plate be ran in the Chandler jobbing press? This looks almost like the grand-father of gravure printing. Does gravure share origins from halftone plates?

You were able to fill in a few of the last few details of halftone I could still not totally get! I minored in Photography- and have experience with some of the older processes like Gum-bichromate and gum-oil - but have always been fascinated by the way they got from a negative to mass produced printing.

Why doesn't the negative print produce a negative image at the end? How does it end up with normal shading?

@toonman361 2 жыл бұрын

The etching is a reverse of the original. Placing the paper on it and applying pressure prints a reverse transfer of the original reversal, creating a positive image. It's kind of like looking in a mirror. The mirror image is a reverse reflection of you. If there was a second mirror reflecting the first, the reflection in the second mirror would be positive.

how to convert photography to halftone?

@fernandovalencia3542 10 күн бұрын

Simple, there are screen value's ranging from low res to high res. Simply add a screen to a photo will become a halftone. For 4 color this requires a separation of all colors one for black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Then on press each unit has the corresponding color which when combined produces a 4 color print.

@fernandovalencia3542 10 күн бұрын

You may find videos about halftones if any exist? You can find videos about film composition which will show the process. It's pretty old school and isn't done that way anymore. It's all computer imaging which is done on screen then sent to the press consisting of 4 plates which then will be printed on a multicolor press
