Japanese typesets undated

Access

Box 2 may not be used without permission of the archivist.

Scope and Contents

The Japanese typesets were from Hokubei Mainichi. Typesets, once worn out, were melted to be used to make new typesets. These typesets are historical pieces and were ready to be used at Hokubei Mainichi. The printing process involves first selecting typesets and placing them into a container to secure them. Then the container is run through a printing machine. The typesets are placed back in their original positions. From the 1960s, an offset print machine was introduced to Hokubei Mainichi, and then one complete printed sheet was required to print on an aluminum sheet for mass printing.
