Meaning Of Graphotype
n.
A process for producing a design upon a surface in
relief so that it can be printed from. Prepared chalk or oxide of zinc
is pressed upon a smooth plate by a hydraulic press, and the design is
drawn upon this in a peculiar ink which hardens the surface wherever it
is applied. The surface is then carefully rubbed or brushed, leaving
the lines in relief.
