Printing plates were used to produce catalogues, which are an important source of historical information related to horticulture and mail-order marketing of products in Canada. Horticultural companies began producing mail-order catalogues in the mid-19th century and continue to print and distribute them as they remain an important mode of communication and sales even with the advent of online sales. Four-colour printing was critical to catalogue printing as it enabled the production of attractive catalogues and seed packets that accurately depicted the vibrant colours of products. According to a hand-written letter by Ted McDonald, the company “bought or rented” plates from a company called McFarland, based in Chicago. In the same letter, McDonald identified the Runge Press in Ottawa and the Gazette Printing Co. in Montreal as their main contractors for print runs of up to 65,000 copies. Les plaques d'imprimeries étaient utilisées pour créer des images pour les catalogues de ventes par correspondances. Ils sont une source d'information historique canadienne primordiale sur l'horticulture et les ventes par correspondances. Les compagnies horticoles ont commencé à produire leurs catalogues de ventes par correspondances au milieu du 19e siècle et continue d'imprimer et distribuer des catalogues aujourd'hui. Les catalogues maintiennent leur valeur comme mode de communication ainsi qu'une nécessité pour produire des ventes malgré l'augmentation des ventes en ligne. L'impression en quadrichromie étais essentielle pour imprimer des catalogues et des sachets de semences, car il permettait la production d'images attirantes en couleurs vibrante pour la mise en valeur de leurs produits. Selon une lettre écrite par Ted McDonald leur compagnie a “acheté ou louer” les plaques d'une compagnie sous le nom McFarland qui sont situés à Chicago. La lettre à aussi identifier Runge Press à Ottawa ainsi qu'une compagnie Montréalaise qui est nommée le Gazette Printing Co. comme les entreprises principales pour plus de 65,000 copies de catalogues par correspondances.
Function
This print sample shows a progression of colours. Each separate colour is given a page to show individual saturation and a final image displays every colour together as a composite proof. Cet échantillon d'imprimerie démontre la progression des couleurs utiliser. Chaque couleur séparée à sa propre page pour illustrer la saturation individuelle. Une image finale démontre toutes les couleurs ensemble comme épreuve composite.
Technical
These plates were used in four-colour letterpress printing. Each plate prints one of the four-colours required for full-colour reproduction: cyan (blue); magenta; yellow; and black. These plates are mounted on type-high wooden blocks, indicating they would been used on a flat-bed press. These plates represent what was once a standard printing process for long-run commercial printing, including catalogues. Colour off-set lithography and rotogravure have largely replaced colour letterpress printing. Ces plaques d'imprimeries sont utilisées pour l'impression en quadrichromie. Chaque plaque imprime un des quatre couleurs requis pour une production en couleur complète : cyan (bleu) ; magenta ; jaune ; et noir. Les plaques sont montées sur des blocs de bois à hauteur du caractère et indique qu'ils auraient été utilisés sur une presse à plat. Ces plaques d'impression représentent ce qui était une fois le standard du processus d'imprimerie commerciale, tout incluant les catalogues de ventes par correspondances. L'imprimerie à épreuve offset en couleur pour les procédés lithographie et la rotogravure ont grandement remplacé la typographie en couleur.
