subject: The Process Of Lithography Printing [print this page] After the chemical processing stage has been completed the stone must then be printed with ink of a color in which the image is to be printed. Once this ink has been applied, a sheet of paper will have to be laid face down on the stone. Over this, a sheet of plexiglass or a tympan will need to be placed. After that, the press bed will be moved horizontally until the scrape bar is lowered on to the tympan. The image will then be printed as soon as the scraper bar moves over the press bed.
