  • Lithography, Offset Printing and Collotype
DEF

A lithographic plate the printing area of which is of one metal (usually copper) and the non-printing area of another (such as chromium).

OBS

Such plates may be used without graining to make them water-retentive and will thus need less damping water than normal grained plates. They also permit long runs.
