Summary:

A process of color printing has been developed which departs from conventional methods in the following ways: 1. All color correction is achieved photographically. 2. Printing is done in three colors instead of four. 3. All the printing is done with 266 line halftones. 4. Printing is done using Kodak Ektalith printing plates. 5. The printing is done on Multigraph Duplicators. 6. All registration is done by mechanical means. 7. The method is worked out primarily for making reproductions from 35mm Kodachrome slides. The methods worked out for this process make it possible to print short runs economically but at the same time many of the above mentioned points also can be applied to conventional color printing.
