4101-00 Printing, lithography, engraving, map printing
				and silk screening, N.O.C.
Applies to establishments engaged in providing a variety of
				printing services not covered by another classification (N.O.C.) to others.
				Operations contemplated include, but are not limited to, the press room,
				assembly and staging areas, shipping departments, and delivery.
Printing
: This category covers many types of printing
				including offset cold press and letterpress printing.
Lithography
: This category of printing is similar to
				letterpress printing with the process used to transfer images to paper (stock)
				being the distinction. In letterpress printing the image is transferred
				directly from plate to stock. In lithography an additional cylinder containing
				a rubber blanket is used. The process is plate to blanket to stock.
Engraving
: This applies to a process wherein designs or images
				are incised into the surface of a material from which printing impressions can
				be made.
Map printing
: This applies to an end product produced
				by a printer rather than a specialty form of printing.
Silk screening
				(or screen printing)
: This applies to a specialty type of printing
				wherein a silk, nylon or metal screen contains the desired image and ink is
				forced through the screen to form the design on paper or other medium. Products
				produced by establishments subject to this classification include, but are not
				limited to, catalogs, booklets, pamphlets, brochures, books, letterhead, paper
				signs, and specialty invitation and business cards.
This classification excludes photographic composition or
				prepress work such as, but not limited to, photographic or computerized
				typesetting, layout, paste up, editing, proofreading, camera work and automated
				plate making which are to be reported separately in classification 4904.
Employees of an employer subject to this classification who have both
				photographic composition/prepress work duties and duties which are subject to
				this classification (4101) are to be reported separately in classification 4101
				without a division of work hours
. This classification also excludes
				newspaper publishers who are to be reported separately in classification 4103
				and establishments engaged in cloth printing operations which are to be
				reported separately in classification 3802.
4101-02 Rubber stamp: Manufacturing or
				assembly
Applies to establishments engaged in the manufacture or
				assembly of all types of rubber or synthetic rubber stamps or marking devices
				for others. Products produced by establishments subject to this classification
				include, but are not limited to, date, character, name and address stamps.
				Stamps may be produced by hand or machine and can be made from a variety of
				natural or synthetic materials. Finished stamps are attached to handles or
				coverings purchased from others.
4101-03 Bookbinding
Applies to establishments engaged in bookbinding and/or the
				restoration of old or damaged books using methods similar to those employed by
				bookbinders described by this classification. One definition of bookbinding is
				all further treatment of stock after printing which may include cutting,
				folding, trimming, gathering, stitching, gluing and casing. There are two
				general types of binding: Pamphlet binding and bookbinding. Pamphlet binding is
				used for such material as folders, booklets, catalogs and magazines. An
				automatic feeder carries the sheets to a folding machine. After folding, the
				sheets can be collated either by hand or by machine and either saddle-wire or
				side-wire stitched, depending on the thickness of the material being bound.
				There are a number of ways to bind a book, the most common being "edition"
				binding, also known as hard cover or cases binding, where the papers are sewn
				together by specialized sewing machines. This process is used when permanence
				is desired. "Perfect" binding is a less expensive type of binding as it
				requires no sewing or stitching and uses a pliable adhesive for binding.
This classification excludes photographic composition or
				prepress work such as photographic or computerized typesetting, layout, paste
				up, editing and proofreading, camera work and automated plate making which is
				to be reported separately in classification 4904.
Employees of an
				employer subject to this classification who have both photographic composition
				and/or prepress duties
and
duties which are subject to this
				classification (4101) are to be reported in classification 4101 without a
				division of work hours.
