colour printing (sh) and Mander, Karel van (sh)


colour printing (sh)




Specialized printing technique using coloured inks and modified presses.

Juxtaposition of colours is achieved by submitting each sheet to successive impressions by typeforms each of which prints only on areas designed to carry a single colour and inked only in that colour. Three colours of ink can reconstitute the visual effect of all the range of colours by combining them appropriately; if all three inks are applied to an area, it almost appears black. Standard colour printing, called four-colour printing, employs magenta, yellow, cyan (blue), and black inks.


Mander, Karel van (sh)




born May 1548, Meulebeke, Flanders, Spanish Netherlands
died Sept. 2, 1606, Amsterdam, Neth.

Dutch painter, poet, and writer.

Born of a noble family, after much wandering he settled in Haarlem in 1583 and founded a successful academy of painting with Hendrik Goltzius and Cornelis Cornelisz (1562-1638). He is best known for The Book of Painters (1604), which contains about 175 biographies of Dutch, Flemish, and German painters of the 15th-16th centuries; it became for the northern countries what Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Painters had been for Italy.
