Talk:Woodblock printing

message: Block printing, better known as relief printing, should be merged with the printmaking page. Regardless of the information printed, whether it be text or an image, it is utilizing printmaking techniques, and should therefore be with that article.
:What about woodcut? – Morganfitzp 05:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A merger is unnecessary.  As long as cross-references are posted, printmaking is the more general page and block printing is the more specific.  I suggest the term revision to relief printing instead of block printing be implemented.  Also, the entry would be enhanced by more examples and technique information on linoleum and other non-wood surfaces.  --BeckyIB 04:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A merger would be counter-productive and simplifying each kind of print.  The artistic techniques, tools, effects and results are all vastly different, each can have list of good examples with pictures. Keep the articles separate. Goldenrowley
The merge tags are for block printing and woodblock printing, not the general printing article; the information about block printing does seem to be duplicated between these two articles & they could probably benefit from a merger. phoebe 23:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Merge. It looks like they are the same thing. - jlao04 12:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposed

message: I'd say yes - these are essentially talking about Asian printing of image plus text on the same block. Neither cover Western techniques really (I have just added a bit to this one to improve that)

replies: text: I would also say yes, though on other pages dealing with printing it has been problematic how to discuss the Asian and the European techniques and traditions together, and the merge would need to be careful here. I don't think there's a dissent, but, Johnbod, you would seem to be the person to do it (and of course for others to then edit.).DGG 02:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Johnbod, you've added a section on color--are there any  specific european exam[ples you can mention? 
:and perhaps you should say the use of chiaroscuro here is specialised, for in other conexts in means light/dark. DGG 01:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: your comments on Woodblock printing: ""an instrument for printing texts and pictures ... with 14 stones for printing" which is probably too early to be a Gutenberg-type printing press in that location.[1] "
I don't know anything about this case in particular, but from the context, I would imagine that the "stones" referred to are printing blocks - i.e. with letters or characters carved into them - and not weights. LordAmeth 10:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I am reluctant to suggest something involving so much work, but converting the reference format to Harvard referencing would make it very easy to integrate the material referenced with the bibliographic citation, eg. , " ... who all used this technique as shown by Xyz(1999)."

message: I am trying to remove links to the website Touregypt.net from article space for a variety of reasons, including the occasional but glaring inaccuracy. (See xxxx for the relevant discussion.) In my efforts, I discovered the statement in this article (and several others) that says there were printed textiles in fourth-century Egypt. This statement is sourced to a Touregypt article, which mentions printed textiles but does not deal at all with the invention or evolution of printing. The article also had several sentences that seem to be original research based on the presence of printed cloth in Egypt.
Pursuing the issue further, I also found Woodblock printing on textiles, which seems to be entirely copied from the 1911 Britannica. This section of the article demonstrates that the Egyptian printed textiles are not simply some kind of error by a Touregypt writer. Even so, between the original research and the link to a questionable source, I'd rather remove this material until better sources, addressing the evolution of printing directly, can be found. I'm reproducing these statements below (the parts I removed from the article are in italics), so they can be restored if sources are found. A. Parrot (talk) 01:14, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
