Introduction Late in 1987 I took a job with Linotype, a company with a long history in typesetting. Linotype played an important role in the success of the desktop publishing revolution because its type library was licensed by Apple for the LaserWriter. Adobe PostScript was becoming a market standard, and with all these changes it was an exciting time to be part of the industry. I created and authored this series of articles which were used as a sales tool and a service benefit. When I left Linotype* at the end of 1994 I saved all of the Tech Info PDFs on a 44MB Syquest that I put in a box and forgot about for 18 years. In 2012 I sent the Syquest to a data recovery service (probably the only place that still has a Syquest drive today) and Voila!, here now is the past revisited. These PDFs are copyrighted material owned by Heidelberg. I asked for permission to post them and Heidelberg has granted it. I hope you find this collection interesting, Jim Hamilton Green Harbor Publications May 2012 |
*Linotype had become Linotype-Hell after the merger with Hell Graphic Systems. I left Linotype-Hell after it was acquired by Heidelberg and became Heidelberg Prepress, a name you never hear any more because Linotype-Hell was simply absorbed into Heidelberg. The Linotype Library of fonts (see www.linotype.com) is now managed by Monotype. |
About the Series Notebooks were provided for the Linotype Hell Technical Information Series for 1992, 1993, and 1994. The files below are sorted by those years and include the indices, appendices, and a series called ‘Hot Tips & Late-breaking News’ that appeared during 1994. |
Many of the concepts that were illustrated in the series are dependent upon the resolution of the output device, the screen ruling, the screen angle, the screening method, the rosette structure, the scan resolution, etc. In many cases, this information simply is not visible when the file is turned into a PDF. In other cases, illustrations may have been stripped in manually rather than created digitally. And so, as you look through these digital articles you will undoubtedly come across empty holes or low-resolution images sometimes with the note “strip in supplied film here.” In these cases the original printed pieces are the best reflection of the documents intent. |

Contributors | Many people contributed to the success of the Tech Info series. The one I’d like to thank first is Marion Mathison, who allowed me to take the germ of an idea and run with it. There were many others as well. In most Tech Info pieces there was an acknowledgement section at the end of the document. I’ve combed through those and have compiled a list of every person who was acknowledged. There are 178 in all (see the list below), some of whom were mentioned multiple times. Gus Barbuto, with fourteen mentions, topped the list followed by Ken Larsen and Eugene O’Brien, who were mentioned nine times each. David Klippel and Dennis Ryan rounded out the top five. David McDowell of Kodak, was the top non-Lino contributor with seven mentions. Also with seven mentions were Steve Beneduci, Ray Cassino, Marco Mularoni, and Bruce Roth. Jack Bruger, Don Giallanza, Georg Hollenbach, and Kevin Simms received six mentions. The list is in alphabetical order by first name. Unless otherwise noted, these are Linotype-Hell employees. Names with an asterisk were acknowledged at least four times. |
