To Prepare Cloth for Printing.—

To Prepare Cloth for Printing.—

A French contemporary says that to give cloth a proper sizing for good impressions in lithography, typography, or photography, it should first be soaked in boiling water alkalized with a little potash; after drying, pass it through a confined bath containing 2 parts of chlorhydrate of ammonia and 3 parts of dry albumen to 260 parts of water. After having been dried in the open air, the stuff should be sufficiently calendered.
