Bronzing on Plated Papers.—Pressmen frequently find that they cannot print plated papers in bronze with success. The heavy coating on the paper absorbs the size so that the bronze will not adhere. This can be obviated by running the sheets twice through the press, using size both times, and allowing it to dry after the first impression, which it will very quickly do. The first printing fills up the pores in the paper, leaving an excellent ground for the second impression, to which the bronze will adhere firmly. Of course this is expensive; but it must be figured in estimating the cost of the work. —Printers' Album.
