I, JOB SHUFFLEBOTTOM MORRISS, of 57 and 59, Ludgate Hill, in the City and
County of London, Publisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
which has been communicated to me from abroad by Christian Scholz, of Mayence,
in the Empire of Germany, Printer to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved method of printing or producing
prints, designs or the like from any suitable printing surface or by any other
process of reproduction on flat sheets whereby an embossed or relievo or in some
cases an intaglio effect is produced and generally a more effective picture is pro-
duced than is obtained in two printings by the ordinary or existing methods.
The principle involved in the present invention comprises a print or design
produced in two or more colours from two or more separate printing surfaces
by two or more printings out of register with each other so as to leave partially
surrounding the objects or designs depicted small unprinted portions or lines
of the surface printed upon, which should be of white, black or of a different
colour or tone to those of the colours employed in the printing.
A convenient method of producing by means of algraphy or lithography a two
colour print or picture having an embossed or relievo effect is as follows:-After
the picture or design with all its details has been drawn or transferred on to
the plate or stone a second drawing or transfer is produced on another plate or
stone, this second drawing being a reversed counterpart of the first one, that is to
say, all portions of the first plate or stone that will hold the ink will on the
second one repel it and all repellant portions of the first plate or stone will
on the second plate or stone hold the ink, or in other words, a positive picture is
produced on one plate or stone and a negative on the other. The plate or stone
having the negative picture is preferably first printed in any desired colour and
then over this impression, but slightly out of register therewith, is printed in
a different colour or in a different tone or shade of the same colour, an impression
of the positive picture. The resulting finished print will thus have portions or
lines of the paper or other surface unprinted upon, which portions or lines when
the paper or other surface printed upon is of white or a different colour to those
employed in the printing, will serve to outline every object or detail on
its one side and so produce the embossed or relievo effect in a marked degree.
It will be understood that the extent and direction in which the superimposed
impressions are printed out of register with each other will depend to a great
extent on the lighting of the picture reproduced and also on to the effect which
it is desired to create.
Further, it will be seen that any known method of printing, such as from wood
or metal blocks, plates, metallic or otherwise or processes for reproduction, such

page_text: as stencilling, processes depending upon light or chemical action or a combination
of both may be used in connection with or are applicable to the present invention.

A New or Improved Method of Printing.
I, JOB SHUFFLEBOTTOM MORRISS, of 57 and 59, Ludgate Hill, in the City and
County of London, Publisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
which has been communicated to me froní abroad by Christian Scholz, of Mayence,
in the Empire of Germany, Printer, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to a new or improved method of printing or producing
prints, designs or the like from any suitable printing surface or by any other
process of reproduction on flat sheets whereby an embossed or relievo or in some
cases an intaglio effect is produced and generally a more effective picture is pro-
duced than is obtained in two printings by the ordinary or existing methods.
The principle involved in the present invention comprises a print or design
produced in two or more colours from two or more separate printing surfaces
by two or more printings out of register with each other so as to leave partially
surrounding the objects or designs depicted small unprinted portions or lines
of the surface printed upon, which should be of white, black or of a different
colour or tone to those of the colours employed in the printing.
A convenient method of producing by means of algraphy or lithography a two
colour print or picture having an embossed or relievo effect is as follows:-After
the picture or design with all its details has been drawn or transferred on to
the plate or stone a second drawing or transfer is produced-preferably in
the manner well-known to the trade-on another plate or stone, this
second drawing being a reversed counterpart of the first one, that is to
way, all portions of the first plate or stone that will hold the ink will on the
second one repel it and all repellant portions of the first plate or stone will
on the second plate or stone hold the ink, or in other words, a positive picture is
produced on one plate or stone and a negative on the other. The plate or stone
having the negative picture is preferably first printed in any desired colour and
then over this impression, but slightly out of register therewith, is printed in
a different colour or in a different tone or shade of the same colour an impression
of the positive picture. The resulting finished print will thus have portions or
lines of the paper or other surface unprinted upon, which portions or lines when
the paper or other surface printed upon is of white or a different colour to those
employed in the printing, will serve to outline every object or detail either
on one or two of its sides i.e., its side and top side or its side and bottom side
and so produce the embossed or relievo effect in a marked degree.
It will be understood that the extent and direction in which the super-imposed
impressions are printed out of register with each other will depend to a great
extent on the lighting of the picture reproduced and also on the effect which
it is desired to create.
Any known method of printing, such as from wood or metal blocks, plates,

page_text: metallic or otherwise or processes for reproduction, such as stencilling, processes
depending upon light or chemical action or a combination of both may be
employed in carrying out the present invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
(1) A new or improved method of printing consisting essentially in producing
a print from two or more colours from two or more printing surfaces by two or
more printings out of register with each other, as and for the purpose set forth.
(2) A new or improved method of printing substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
(3) A new or improved method of lithographic printing consisting essentially
in printing slightly out of register, a positive picture of one tone or colour over
a negative one of a different tone or colour, as and for the purpose set forth.
