cliché / printing plate Tom Puss in Rhymeland from the book Geheim by Marten Toonder. This is an original used metal printing plate (the black print run) that was used for the printing of "The Secret of Marten Toonder". In the printing process, these metal plates are used for a few different color runs in the printing process, after which such graphic material is destroyed. With this plate 4 pages are printed. Explanation; such a metal plate is called a conventional offset printing plate. To achieve a full color print, 4 printing plates are needed; black, cyan, magenta, and yellow (black, blue/green/turquoise, red/purple/rose, and yellow, respectively). 70,000 to 100,000 impressions can be made from such a metal plate. In an offset printing press, the water rollers go over the metal plate and then the ink rollers. Where the image is, it repels water and attracts ink. It works on the principle of 'rejection'. That part where water is repelled is where the ink takes. So where there is no water, ink is taken and that is printed on rubber and from there on paper. The metal plate is the base, the visible/readable positive. From there it goes on invisible/illegible rubber and from there on paper and after which it is visible/readable again. After the 4 printing runs (4 colours) you will have a printed color plate on a large sheet, such as image 3. These quires are then cut into pages and then bound together into a book at the bindery. The metal plates are unique; for printing a page, only one black, one blue, one red and one yellow printing plate is used for the entire edition of books. Usually the metal plates are destroyed.
