Pencil and tempera on dyeline print Explanation: http://tinyurl.com/y52f4vpv As an architect I used dyeline printing for years and years until computer plotters took over. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2019-04-14 09:10:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think Americans call it diazo print. But I'm not sure. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2019-04-14 09:17:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's how the process works- very cumbersome and there's a very strong ammonia smell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elW3ko0h5jo -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2019-04-14 12:51:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes- this would be applicable to a 1950s project because that time dyeline printing was the only way of making copies from drawings that had been made on tracing paper. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2019-04-14 12:52:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *at* that time -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2019-04-14 17:00:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bleueprints are a different technique, used (AFAIK) only in the US. They are called blueprints because the background of the paper is blue and the lines of the drawing are white. That is a completely different technique from dyeline printing, which prints out on a white background with the lines of the drawing in black. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2019-04-14 17:05:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think the Americans call dyeline printing "diazo printing". But I've never heard that term used in Europe. |
