Inventor: PIFER GEORGE NICHOLAS
Filed: 1905-11-06
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 22,735. Piferr, G. N. Nov. 6. Drawings to Specification. Positives, producing directly ; sensitized plates &c. -Relates to the production of positives directly, of such a character that duplicates can be.printed directly from them. A more or less transparent base is coated with a layer which is partially transparent, but presents a proper surface with reflected light for the high lights of the picture. A compound containing gelatin or collodion with barium sulphate or tin oxide may be used. The plate is sensitized and is exposed through this layer, and the developed portions of the image are removed with acids which will not affect the unaltered parts. The plate can be again exposed to actinic light and redeveloped. Instead of this second exposure, the plate may be directly treated by an acid bath, with or without an oxidizing-agent to remove the reduced parts, and the unaltered portions are changed to a different colour, to contrast with the high lights, by a sulphide or like bath. A partly opaque and partly transparent support may alternatively be prepared by coating an etched plate with the layer and squeegeeing thereon a damp sheet of gelatin. When the sheet is peeled off, the coating remains in the indentations of the plate, which parts will be opaque, while the rest of the plate will be transparent.
