Definitions

  • This invention relates to new and improvements in the process of printing and reproducing imitation marble, tile, stone, and wood on soft or rigidmaterials.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide a printing process which will produce a replica of the material or object'to be printed, with the amount of labour and with the least possible expense.
  • Another object is to provide a print of wood, marble, or .the like, without photographing, drawing, or using designs, negatives screens, metal plates, or lithograhphic stones, such as are commonly used in printing processes.
  • this slab may be also used to reproduce prints by the typographic or gravure ('intagho) methods, either direct or ofi'set.
  • the slabs or 70 cylindrical pieces of wood are polished. I then attack the softer grains of the wood with an acid, such as nitrlc acid or even better cupric ammonia, but when cupric ammonia is used the wood is not previously moistened. I; The wood is then moistened to swell and expand the harder surfaces. The surface is then polished and a glossing solution is used on the raised parts only.
  • the glossing can be accomplished by various processes, one of 86 which is the application of beeswax wlth a hot plate to bind and gloss the printing surface. The surfaces of the wood thus treated are used as the printing plates.
  • the printmg' of the wood is done 1n the same manner as that described with relation to the printing of marble.
  • Figure 6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the covered slab positioned in and submerged in an acid bath
  • Figure 7 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the sectional design of the top surface afterthe initial or preliminary acid treatment
  • Figure 8 is a similar view showing the initial application of etching ink or other acid resisting material
  • Figure 9 is a similar view illustrating the design after a second acid treatment
  • Figure' 10 is 'a, longitudinal section illustrating'the completely etched printing surface of the slab.
  • FIG 11 is a fragmentary plan view of the slab shown in Figure 10.
  • the numeral 20 designates an elongated slab of marble, shown in Figures 1 and 2 in its rough out form.
  • the slab 20 is subsequently highly polished so as to form a smooth surface.
  • One face which will behereinafter called the bottom face, as well as the side and end edges, are covered with a coating of acid resisting material, preferably a gummy solution indicated at 21.
  • the slab is now in condition for its initial or preliminary etching treatment.
  • the slab as shown in Figure 5, is immersed in an acid bath which may comprise a vat 22 containing an acid solution 23 comprising a relatively weak solution of hydrochloric, nitrate or other suitable etching solution.
  • This initial acid application forms the relatively shallow depressions 24 shown in greatly enlarged scale in Figure 7 affecting the intermediate as well as the vein forming material in order to bring out the finest details in the surface.
  • the printing surface of the slab is rolled with etching ink or other suitable acid resisting material 25, the initial rolling operation being preferably performed by a comparatively hard roller 26 to form a protective covering upon the harder elevated surfaces and the finer tone etchings.
  • the printing surface of the slab ist-hen washed and subsequently rolled to form a second coating of etching ink.
  • etching chemicals which in most cases, will comprise a somewhat stronger solution of acid to further develop the intermediate and coarse tone depressions, that is,'to increase the depth thereof.
  • the surface is again rolled with etching ink and again etched.
  • a process for reproducing the natural design of a material which "consists in forming a printing surface by subjecting the surface of the material to a preliminary etching, rolling and. subsequently etching-to form a replica of the material.
  • a process for reproducing the natural designof a material which consists in f0rining a printin surface by chemically treating the surface 0 the material to form a preliminary etching, rollingand successively repeating the etching and rolling operations to form depressions corresponding to the hardness of the material to form a printing surfacein the natural material which will reproduce a replica thereof.
  • a process for'reproducing the natural design of a material which consists in chemically treating the surface of the material to form a preliminary etching, rolling the etched surface with an acid resisting material, repeating the chemical etching treatment, and
  • a process for reproducing the natural design of a material which consists in subjecting the material to a preliminary treatment with an acid to develo the fine details, then rolling and etching an d provingby the ordinary methods of etching, then printing s from such materlal.
