About This Item
A true manual, Earhart's book offers information on colored inks, process of mixing colors, tints, half tones, composition, best presses, rollers, and papers to use in the color process, methods of embossing and a dictionary of terms. Earhart and Richardson were some of the finest color printers in America during the 19th century and had both the skill and patience to produce color images using as many as 37 inks printed in six pulls through the press. In his description of Earhart's book David Pankow called the work a "landmark" manual and that most of the plates "are intended to show color harmonies and how tints in various strengths could be combined. Incredibly he was able to produce more than 1,000 distinct color and tint values from just twelve stock inks." From the library of Daniel Berkeley Updike. Pankow, David. The Printer's Manual, p. 64. (289).
