As a 5th and unfortunately most likely final generation newspaper employee. Not in the printing but delivery side of the business. I find these video's fascinating. Thank you
I could easily and with much enjoyment watch this man discuss the history of printing in a full length movie. His vast knowledge and delivery are in perfect sync
This channel is literal gold. I wouldn't have seen this in a thousand years. When we're so drowned in technology, it's so fascinating seeing how things worked back in the day!
We're only seeing the printing here however, I am still searching for how these plates were actually created in the first place.... that's something I'd love to see!!
As a pc guy, didn’t expect Howard to be talking about dpi lol. But it is completely relative and makes total sense. These are great videos showcasing early tech. Just awesome
Glad I came across this. Thank you. For years I've had a number of those copper (?) plates mounted on wood blocks and wondered exactly what they were and how they were used. I instinctively knew they had something to do with printing. Don't recall how I even came by them.
I have a number of machine tools catalogs and books from the 1800s. The images are crisp and detailed. I would love to see the process of making one of these plates.
Does a plate like this allow for only a certain number of impressions before it wears out? Could this plate be ran in the Chandler jobbing press? This looks almost like the grand-father of gravure printing. Does gravure share origins from halftone plates?
You were able to fill in a few of the last few details of halftone I could still not totally get! I minored in Photography- and have experience with some of the older processes like Gum-bichromate and gum-oil - but have always been fascinated by the way they got from a negative to mass produced printing.
meanwhile im dealing with prints that where overinked but are likely (at least to my knowledge) the only surviving example of images we are archiving. Halftone is interesting, and surprisingly difficult to reverse correctly when archiving
The etching is a reverse of the original. Placing the paper on it and applying pressure prints a reverse transfer of the original reversal, creating a positive image. It's kind of like looking in a mirror. The mirror image is a reverse reflection of you. If there was a second mirror reflecting the first, the reflection in the second mirror would be positive.
Simple, there are screen value's ranging from low res to high res. Simply add a screen to a photo will become a halftone. For 4 color this requires a separation of all colors one for black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Then on press each unit has the corresponding color which when combined produces a 4 color print.
You may find videos about halftones if any exist? You can find videos about film composition which will show the process. It's pretty old school and isn't done that way anymore. It's all computer imaging which is done on screen then sent to the press consisting of 4 plates which then will be printed on a multicolor press

I completely agree with you on that!
Howard is the man! His enthusiasm is contagious.
Totally!

Absolutely!
The appreciation for photo chemistry is astounding !!
I have always wondered how they did this in the old days! Thank you for posting this video and preserving knowledge of this awesome technique.
We're only seeing the printing here however, I am still searching for how these plates were actually created in the first place.... that's something I'd love to see!!
Wow! That’s really cool to see the whole process!

The amount of work that had to go into a single print is astounding.
Very much one of the best channels I've found, thank you so much for your content!❤
I love to watch this guy work
Saw this on Facebook and have an appreciation for the old way of doing things. Dropped a like and a sub.
Smart idea!
Thank you for sharing this lovely video. I appreciate the clear explanation and beautiful print at the end.
Definitely agree with you on that!

so nice getting to see these halftones being used again and that we get to see the process ! :D
I love seeing this press making impressions.
Cool! Thank you!
Thank you for this! Well explained.
After 20 years I finally left newspapers for tv. Still miss it sometimes.
I have a number of machine tools catalogs and books from the 1800s. The images are crisp and detailed. I would love to see the process of making one of these plates.
Beautiful!
OMG!!! Look at that picture!!!
THANK YOU Thank you Thank you!!! for sharing Míster Howard blessings from Veracruz Mex
DPI …. DOTS PER INCH THATS WHERE THAT COMES FROM. That’s so cool and crazy.
Great explanation kind sir. I certainly appreciate it
Very very beautiful work , actually im amazed about the technology they had back in the days

Thanks for sharing details. I wish if Howard would have said at the end, press the red button, Jarred.
Thank you! I would love to know how they made the plate of dots!
I've been watching your shows and it has been very entertaining and the knowledge you have is amazing keep it up and thank you
Wow, that is so cool!
Also explains why newspaper pictures look the way they do in old papers, thank you!

Very interesting!
I'm not sure why this is always so fascinating, but y'all are definitely doing something right!
I see all these halftone tutorials, but no one talks about the why or the origin. This is what I really wanted to know
These are such enjoyable and interesting videos to watch!
Thank you for sharing!
We need more of these videos
And in offset today, we still use dots. Even in full color printing. Just dots of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. (All at different angles!)
That is very interesting! looks like the image came just as you thought it would .
Thanks for sharing this - I was wondering how this was done before digital tools
I knew the basics about printing, but see you doing it is fantastic. Thanks!
It’s such a fascinating topic isn’t it!
I was always very curious how images that comprised of dots actually get made without the need for wood block method, thank you or this!
Oh woooow that explains the pictures I would see on newspapers where it’s just dots showing up.
So how do get from the half tone image/print to the plate?
But then how the image/letter/icon print bricks was made? Tell me 🥺!
Most laser and inket printers today use halftoning. Although the input image would of course be digital. The dpi is much higher. Mine will do 1200dpi
Cool!
That is way awesome.
I know the halftones very well. In the 1970s it was the usual in newspapers.
*... it allows 4 full colors. Not "for full colors." A small typo just at the last sentence I had to point out for consistency.
Very very very cool sir mind blown 🤯
Happy Easter ❤
Sad. There used to be at least one of these guys in every town. I hate to see stuff die out.

Thats awesome!!!😊
So, the early picture resolution was originally 80 dpi? That's higher than the early dot matrix printer in the 80s-90s.
6:08 honestly my jaw dropped
It’s so amazing isn’t it?!
Why doesn't the negative print produce a negative image at the end? How does it end up with normal shading?
The etching is a reverse of the original. Placing the paper on it and applying pressure prints a reverse transfer of the original reversal, creating a positive image. It's kind of like looking in a mirror. The mirror image is a reverse reflection of you. If there was a second mirror reflecting the first, the reflection in the second mirror would be positive.
@@toonman361mirrors actually don't reverse anythingq
@@jonathandpg6115well they can do like mirror writing
Did they use, Oil or Rubber base ink?
Oil base primarily.
How do you clean the ink of your gear wha
En you Finnish the printing
I think there is another video on how they do it
Brilliant technology even way back I'm the day
Totally agree 👍!!
Wooooooow
I would love to get a print of that Presidents Form Howard showed back on Presidents Day with a Howard Autograph! That would be merch I would pay for.
Very smart idea right there!
I want one! .....please.
Ditto!
Nice 🙏🇮🇳💫🌜 Thanks
I started with hot lead then offset plates, the fun wore out. Dam computer.
What's that thick block of steel you are rolling the ink on called?
Cool
How heavy is that little roller?
I'm embarrassed because I learned all this from Highschool Journalism class. And forgot it.

how to convert photography to halftone?
Simple, there are screen value's ranging from low res to high res. Simply add a screen to a photo will become a halftone. For 4 color this requires a separation of all colors one for black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Then on press each unit has the corresponding color which when combined produces a 4 color print.
