Hi Dave I dont know a lot about Argentinian posters but it could well be the same process. They certainly used zinc plates for the hand lithos in Australia. Regards John

Thanks, John! I was just wondering if hand litho as it is described is the same as "zinc litho," which is the process I believe was used in the printing of many Argentinean 1-sheets. To my eye, with the exception of the kind of paper used (the Argentineans didn't use the waxy paper used in Australia), it seems very similar.

Occasionally an uncut 3-up sheet shows up, as well as the 2-up sheet of the long daybill. Nice job, John!

This company printed many Australian posters from the late 50s through to the mid 80s. Some would argue that the term "artists" is a little generous for some of the posters but the articles explain the hand litho process and provides some little known information on the printer and the process they used. http://www.ozefilm.com/robert-burton-printers-movie-posters/ http://www.ozefilm.com/robert-burton-printers-movie-poster-artists/ Regards John JOHN REID VINTAGE MOVIE MEMORABILIA Websites: www.moviemem.com www.OzeFilm.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/moviemem PO Box 92 Elanora Qld 4221 Australia Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
