What is block printing what is origin and growth?

== == Block printing is the art of printing with a plate made by carving an image into a block of...well, something. You can use a potato, a block of wood, a sheet of linoleum...the possibilities are endless. They've found examples of block print from Mesopotamia that date to 3000 BC. One very important advantage of block printing is that it can be done without a press. As far as growth...the scrapbooking movement made this process really take off over the last few years. Scrapbookers LOVE rubber stamps, which are a form of block printing. I also consider flexography to be a form of block printing--its plates have raised, reversed images just like a printing woodblock does--and flexo is going great guns. And people still carve printing blocks as a form of artistic expression...so block is safe as a printing process.

How do you change small font to capital font?

Well, if you're changing small font to capital font in Microsoft word, use the CAPS LOCK key.

What do you call non-capital letters?

The correct term is "minuscule," but people will look at you REAL strange if you use it.

You'll like this: how "lower case" letters got their name was from hand-set typography. In hand-set work, you used blocks with letters molded into the end of them. The capital letters went into one type case, the minuscules went into another. To make it easy to work with, you put the two cases one above the other. The one with the capital letters was the upper case, and the one with the minuscules was the lower case.

How do you install fonts?

If you are using Windows XP, then its fairly simple. On the Home Screen, click Start->Control Panel. In Control Panel, click on Fonts. In Fonts Window, click on File->Install New Font.

What are the necessary quality areas that should be inspected in printing and graphics industry?

First, make sure the whole job is printed! Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? I know someone who sent a 32-page hardcover children's book she wrote and I designed to an overseas printer. When it came back, she brought one to me because she was so happy...I turned the pages..."you know they forgot to print one of the signatures?" The book was done as Signature 1 (a and b) and Signature 2 (a and b), and they forgot to print signature 1b. She was not happy. Other things: make sure all the pages that are supposed to be in the job, are--you see this one on books that have, say, seven sigs and the printing plant's gathering machine has six pockets. You compensate for the machine's shortcoming by putting the seventh sig on the chain before it goes through the pockets. make sure the color's good make sure there's no "ghosting" of black ink on the pages make sure the job's on the right paper--you do this BEFORE you print it! make sure it's imposed right

Why is the font called font?

"Font" is from the same root as "fountain" and in fact "font" is an archaic word for fountain.

How do you mix gum Arabic solution for lithography from powdered gum Arabic?

Long answer:

Get 400 grams of gum Arabic powder and dissolve it into a liter of water. Put your hydrometer into the gum solution and add more water until it reaches 14 degrees Baume. You then have to add about half an ounce of Listerine as a preservative. Make sure it's the regular old yellow Listerine, not mint or some other brand of mouthwash.

Real answer:

Why bother? Most of us buy it premade.
