Thanks Everyone -
I understand the transfer printing process, but never saw mentioned how all
those little dots were made; but Teresita Majewski says they were hand
punched.
When I took intaglio printmaking classes, to make "aquatint" we had two
methods. We either covered the (zinc) sheet with an asphalt ground, let it
dry, then ran the sheet through the press using sand paper to gouge out
little holes, or used spray paint for the shaded areas. After that we'd put
the sheet into acid that produced the pitted areas. I did some drypoint,
but I never did real engraving.
Anyway, I just wondered if those artists actually poked the sheet all those
times to produce those little dots.

Subject: Re: dot matrix for transferwares
A copper plate is engraved with the decoration, areas are "stippled" to
create tonality in color concentration just like in standard engraving and
then the plate was "inked" with the appropriate metal oxide, classically
cobalt for blue and the decoration printed on tissue paper which was then
used to transfer the decoration to the ceramic body. Look at currency to see
how an engraving prints.
In addition to Terry, George Miller and Tricia Samford have written quite a
bit on the subject.
