History of the Phototypesetting Era
Author: Frank J. Romano
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780991130801
Category : Phototypesetting
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Typesetting was simultaneously a process, a machine, a person, a service, and an industry. It was manual, mechanical, automated, and electronic -- and almost all of these methods overlapped over 50 years. The phototypesetting era began in 1945 with Higgonet and Moyroud established the basis for electro-mechanical phototypesetting. The roots of phototypesetting go back to the 1930s when the first patents were filed by Intertype, Monotype, and others to adapt mechanical typesetters to photographic typesetting. One can even go back to the early 1900s when photographic typesetters were envisioned. The last phototypesetter was manufactured in the late 1980s as laser imagesetters and CTP replaced them. This book covers the almost 400 models of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation phototypesetters and ends in 1985. It is a time capsule of a bygone era."--Back cover.

History of the Linotype Company
Author: Frank J. Romano
Publisher: RIT Press
ISBN: 9781933360607
Category : Inventors
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
From the Victorian era to the start of the twenty-first century, the Mergenthaler Linotype Company dominated the typesetting and printing industries. Unlike previous books which have ended with the invention of the Linotype, Frank Romano tells the rest of the story. This book details the products, the people, and the corporate activities that kept the company ahead of its competition in hot metal, phototypesetting, and pre-press technology. Over ten corporate entities eventually formed the U.S. manufacturer, which ended its corporate life as a division of a German press maker. What began in 1886 ended finally in May 2013, when the Linotype Library division of Monotype Imaging was closed down. After 127 years, the last resting place of the history of the Linotype Company is in this book.
