Other Methods of Printing

其他印染方式

Although most work is executed throughout by one or other of the five distinct processes mentioned above, combinations of them are not infrequently employed. Sometimes a pattern is printed partly by machine and partly by block；and sometimes a cylindrical blockis used along with engraved copper-rollers in the ordinary printing machine. The block in this latter case is in all respects, except that of shape, instead with a flat wood or coppered block, but, instead of being dipped in color, it receives its supply from an endless blanket, one part of which works in contact with color- furnishing rollers and the other part with the cylindrical block. This block is known as a surface or peg roller. Many attempts have been made to print multicolor patterns with surface rollers alone，but hitherto with little success, owing to their irregularity in action and to the difficulty of preventing them from warping. These defects are not present in the printing of linoleum in which opaque oil colors are used，colors that neither sink into the body of the hard linoleum nor tend to warp the roller.

儘管大多數印染是由上面提到的五個不同的流程中的一個或幾個進行，但它們的組合並不罕見。有時打印圖案部分由機器進行和部分由木板印染;有時一個圓形印刷是與刻印在普通的印花機一起使用。在後面那種情況下該銅塊不是在所有方面和所有不同的是形狀，而是在代替平坦木材或鍍銅塊方面，但是，這不是被浸漬在顏色中，它從無端毛毯接收其供應，其中一個印染顏色的零件與布接觸，另一部分與圓柱塊接觸。這被稱爲表面或深入印染。進行了與表面進行單獨打印多色的圖案的許多嘗試，但迄今收效甚微，由於其在行動，防止翹曲不均難度很大。這些缺陷不存在於油氈打印，其中使用不透明的油顏色，沉入硬油氈的物體也不容易翹曲。
