However, in type II the very thin outline of the outer edge had been removed
and the outlines were left only within the stamp
design around the text.
The regular teeth of the screen can be seen as usual along the outer edge!
At the left type I
and at the right type II!
to be continued ....
P.S.
the screen in the text Is with
different angles than elsewhere in the
design! This is because the screen is part of the
design and had NOT been applied afterwards while reproducing the
design with a step-
and-repeat machine. It was introduced in the Netherl
ands with the phrase "autotypical photogravure"! This not quite correct -
and I hope Otin will agree with me - as the autotypical screen or surface-variable screen is a screen similar to that was is used in offset-litho! The traditional photogravure screen is depth-variable with the screen dots having the
same surface area everywhere but with the depth of the hole being
different... The autotypical screen has holes that are equally deep everywhere but the surface area may differ!
