Later on the writer will explain how embossing and gold-leafing are done on platen printing presses.
Miehle Pony Cylinder Press
THE MIEHLE CYLINDER PRESS
Miehle cylinder presses are in successful operation in many of the largest printing plants in America, and the adaptability of these machines to the finest half tone and color work is too well-known to require comment here. It is enough to say that for the printing departments of large paper box concerns, where cylinder presses are needed, no better machines could be installed than those made by the Miehle Printing Press and Manufacturing Co., of Chicago.
The Miehle Pony Cylinder Press is very useful for printing cartons, box wrappers, etc. Large Miehle Cylinder presses are excellent for printing heavy color plates as applied to the larger sizes of folding boxes, such as cereal boxes, tea boxes, spice boxes and so on. As many as a dozen of these cartons are printed on the one sheet of stock, being cut apart afterwards.
THE KIDDER AUTOMATIC PRINTING PRESS
Some of the larger manufacturers of both folding boxes and cartons are making good use of Kidder automatic printing presses in their printing plants. In some instances the Kidder is being used for printing cartons from large rolls of carton stock, and in other cases the machine is running on big orders of box labels printed from rolls of paper. Box labels may be printed in one or two colors on a special Kidder press, and the machine is equipped with a cutting device for cutting the labels to correct size as they are printed from the rolls of paper.
