Ball-grained aluminum plates, zincography, and photoplates.
The technical depth extends beyond basic processes. You'll find detailed guidance on mixing inks for consistent color across editions, plus alternative techniques including Lo-shu washes for tonal effects, negative drawing approaches, transfer methods, and Manière Noire for rich blacks. The authors explain not just how to execute each technique but when to choose one method over another based on your desired result.
A quick-reference recipe section provides at-a-glance formulas for mixing etches, processing chemicals, tusche, and drawing materials, practical when you're mid-project and need to verify proportions without rereading entire chapters. This combination of thorough explanation and accessible reference makes the book valuable both for learning lithography from scratch and for solving specific technical problems as they arise in your printing practice.
