Improved Rolling Press for Imparting a Satin or Matt Surface to
Photographs or the like.
I, ALEXANDER HERMANN ANDERS, Manufacturer, residing at Dresden, Pfoten-
hauer-Street No. 43, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
The object invented is a cylinder or roll-press for imparting a matt or satin
surface without heat to photo's and similar articles. The only way to obtain
satin or matt surfaces upon photo's and the like consisted in the application of
a press, the cylinders of which were provided the one with a highly polished sur-
face the other with a surface made matt by a sand-blower, the one or both
cylinders being hollow in order to be heated inside.
The inventor of the new machine applies only full cylinders and without
heating them, the surfaces being naturally like those of the precedent construc-
tion .e. that the one cylinder is highly polished the other made matt. The
inventor arrives at the same result by forcing the cylinders more tightly upon
another by means of strong screws controlling the bearings or cushions and by
repeated passages of the subject through the cylinders, repeated until satisfaction.
Upon the accompanying drawing the cylinder-press is represented.
a signifies the frame, 6 & the different full cylinders, the one of them being
polished, the other made matt.
