NEW PRINTING PROCESS.
TESTS IN UNITED STATES. An invention of interest to proprietors of newspapers throughout the world was recently completed by an Auckland resident, Mr. T. E. Richards, who has just returned from a visit to the United States. While in the United States Mr. Kiehards made some further improvements to his invention, which is a new off-set press plate equally suitable for black and white or colour reproduction. The process had been installed by the United States Government printing office at Washington, and the tests of the plate, both in colour work and in ordinary newspaper illustration, had been most successful, Mr. Richards said yesterday. A special press was in course of construction in the United States, and when it was completed it was hoped that certain of the large American newspapers would, produce their illustrations in colour. Patents had been granted in certain cou-n-, tries and had been applied for in others. A companv known as Duvo Plates, Lt .% had been formed in New Zealand soul# _ time ago to handle the inventioa.
