Chapter 67 Multicolor Overprinting
Tang Luoyu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Multi-color overprint?"

She can understand the literal meaning of this word, but how to do it?

Nowadays, all printed books are printed in monochrome, and even picture albums are mostly line drawings. Only a few collections will be specially colored by someone, but that is also a small number. If it is printed in large quantities, it is impossible to color .

"How to do this?" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince with some puzzlement.

"I'll show you a demonstration, and you'll understand." Xue Lince thought for a while, went to the kitchen and brought back a radish, and peeled the radish into smaller pieces.

Then I simply carved the outline of a rabbit with a knife, and then printed it on the paper to print a pattern of a white rabbit: "This is our usual monochrome printing."

Tang Luoyu nodded. Although she had never seen woodblock printing, seals were commonly used, but she still didn't quite understand what Xue Lince was going to do.

I saw Xue Lince put the piece of paper on another piece of radish, engraved the lines just now with intaglio, and then painted a thin layer of ink on it.

Print the two patterns together on the paper, and a little rabbit with red lines and black coloring will appear on the paper.

At this time, he didn't need to explain, Tang Luoyu himself understood what it meant.

"If you want to make more colors, just carve more plates." Xue Lince looked at Tang Luoyu with a smile.

Tang Luoyu picked up the little rabbit on the table and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but muttered: "This is really a good way."

Then she thought of the key point: "Although this method is feasible, what are we going to print?"

After all, only the albums need to be printed in color, and the books used by ordinary literati do not need such fine printing.

"Why don't you print some pictures and graphics for the poetry and story books?" Xue Lince didn't think of any good ideas, but only thought of books with illustrations for later generations.

"It's not impossible." Tang Luoyu frowned and pondered, and suddenly saw a few unused letter papers on the table, and suddenly thought of it, "I know!"

Xue Lince still looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what else she thought of.

"Let's print some flower paper!" Tang Luoyu's smile became brighter. "It's autumn now. Printing some chrysanthemum paper will sell well."

"This is a good way." Xue Lince thought that it is not suitable now, and the cost is definitely not small. It is better to print some flower paper first as Tang Luoyu said, and then gradually open up the market before continuing to develop illustrations, "wait a while I'll draw some patterns for you, and when the time comes, I'll take them to the workshop and let Uncle Wang find someone to engrave them."

"You can still paint?" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince in surprise, never expecting him to have such an ability.

Xue Lince reached out and tapped the tip of her nose: "Miss, this is underestimating people. Do you remember the hairpin I gave you earlier?"

"Naturally I remember." Tang Luoyu frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Xue Lince in surprise, "Then, you didn't make that hairpin, did you?"

"That's not true," Xue Lince smiled, "But the style is designed by me, do you still like it?"

That's what I like.

Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince with some expectation: "Hi, I like it."

"As long as the lady likes it."

Afterwards, the young couple got busy with this matter. On the second day, Xue Lince quickly drew a picture and took it to the workshop, so that Uncle Wang could find someone to start making.

Soon, the first batch of chrysanthemum paper was produced. Xue Lince was afraid that the style would be too monotonous, so he designed several versions of the pattern. After seeing the finished product, even Uncle Wang couldn't put it down.

"Miss, this flower paper in our family is really amazing." Uncle Wang looked at the lifelike chrysanthemums on the flower paper and said with emotion, "How much does this have to be priced?"

Tang Luoyu thought for a while, then shook his head at Uncle Wang: "Our batch, don't sell it yet."

"This..." Uncle Wang couldn't understand Tang Luoyu's actions, but he didn't say anything, waiting for the lady to give him an answer.

"Let Lin Ce use the first batch with Mr. Zhao. If he uses it well, we will naturally have no worries about selling it." Tang Luoyu smiled mysteriously, and Uncle Wang understood what she meant.

After Xue Lince saw the finished product, he thought it was good. Tang Luoyu suggested that he take it for Mr. Zhao's use, and naturally he didn't shirk it.

"Sir, this is a new flower paper made by our workshop. My wife asked me to bring some for you to use." Xue Lince took out a delicate wooden box from the bookcase, and what was in it was the new one made in the past few days. Good chrysanthemum paper.

Mr. Zhao didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was an ordinary trick. After he put it down, he put on airs and reprimanded a few words: "I heard that you intend to participate in Chunwei next year, don't be playful, these strange tricks are not what you should do now. Toying."

"Yes, the student understands." Xue Lince understood Mr. Zhao's meaning, and bowed, first admitted his mistake, and then explained a few sentences, "My wife has nothing to do to study, and only printed these dozens of papers. Zhang, let me use it to honor Mr.

Mr. Zhao was very flattered, but just after he said that students should not be playful, he didn't open the paper to read, and began to check how he completed his homework yesterday.

After studying with Mr. Zhao for a while, Xue Lince has made some achievements in his articles. In addition, the imperial examinations in this dynasty did not pay more attention to stereotypes than later generations, but paid more attention to practical strategies, so he wrote very smoothly.

After today's class was over, Xue Lince also left Mr. Zhao's house. At this time, Mr. Zhao took out the flower note that Xue Lince left for him during the day.

After opening it, even Mr. Zhao was a little shocked.

In the original world, Xue Lince was a designer, and he was very good at painting. In addition, he had not absorbed Western painting skills at this time, so most people painted very flat.

However, the chrysanthemums drawn by Xue Lin are different. The elegant chrysanthemums pop off the paper. Although they are printed, they are also very realistic, which surprised Mr. Zhao who saw the painting.

"What a beautiful flower note." Mrs. Zhao came from behind at this time and saw the flower note in Mr. Zhao's hand, "Is this what Lin Ce gave you?"

"It's good-looking, but it's too expensive." Mr. Zhao flipped through the previous few photos, and found that the layout was different. He sighed and said, "I know the Tang family is rich, but Lin Ce spends so much money. Indecent, it's really outrageous..."

Mrs. Zhao naturally also saw the next few pictures. The patterns on them were different, and they seemed to be carefully created by someone, so she nodded accordingly.

The Tang family is rich, so it is no problem to find someone who specializes in painting flowers and papers, but Xue Lince will take part in the imperial examination in the future, if others know that he is also such a profligate, it may be bad for his reputation.
