PRINTERS' FURNITURE AND TOOLS
MULLER PATENT HALF-TONE SOFTENING HAMMERS AND PUNCHES
Invaluable in pressrooms where halftone or process plates are used, as their use on the first
job usually results in a saving which more than equals their first cost. They are used for
softening the
harsh edges of
vignetted cuts,
whether origin-
al halftones,
electrotypes,
stereotypes or wood engravings. The hammers are made with lines on each end to match any
screen, and the edges are softly tapped, thus softening them as if by magic. Unlike a hand tooled
edge the effect of the hammer is not noticeable
on the printed page, but the vignetted edge
or other lightened spot appears as if it were
re-etched and not touched with a tool. The
punches are made in three different shapes, oblong, square and diamond. By the aid of these punches it is
possible to carry the softening effect immediately up to a solid, which it is impossible to do with an under-
lay or overlay alone, and impossible to do with a graver without showing the tool mark.
