FOUNTAINS ON JOB PRtE88E.
The advantages of having afountain attached to
a job press are so many and so valuable that it is
surprising the number of presses there are without
this saleable adjunot. Putting ink on the diso with
a small roller cannot possibly be so adoantageous as
getting It from a fountain. This being the case,
what can be said in justifloatio" of the slovenly
habit of putting ink on with a knife or piecs of
reglet? Uniformity ofoolor is an important matter.
and the use of a fountain is the only means of
obtaining this. The next thing of importance is
evenness of distribution, and this can be secored
much better with a fountain than without one. The
question of expense has, perhaps, been the chief
reason why some small job offices are not supplied

POPULAR TINTS USED IN JOB PRINTING.
For the instruction of new beginners at press work a short
chapter is here appended on the more popular tint colors
used in job printing. The basis of most tints is white-flake
ink, magnesia white or strong varnish. In making use of these
articles, the beginner should start carefully, by not taking
too much of these with which to get the desired tone of tint.
It is best to use white ink when beginning to learn the art of
tint mixing. Lay out a small quantity of white ink on a
slab, say about as much as will cover the top of a pallet
knife; put to this quantity about four drops of No. 2 printer's
varnish, then add the full color of the tint you desire, which
must be a very small portion. Mix these thoroughly into
one, and you will have a tone in tint either too dark, too

CARE OF PRINTING TYPE.

handle; labor to produce the best possible results
with the facilities at hand, and if an employer,

GRAY, BLUE AND GREEN.
Gray is produced by mixing white with black,
using very little of the latter. The tone8 of grays
can be varied by the use of blue, red or yellow
to almost infinitesimal gradations. Equal parts
of black and blue added to white make a tint of
sepia color such as i8 used in water color work.
It is a cold tint, but is highly useful in subduing
harsh or brilliant colorings, White and bronze
blue make a beautiful blue tint. No other tint
partakes of a greater variety of beauty. Indeed
