Chase (printing)
A chase is a heavy steel frame used to hold type in a letterpress. Most of the space in the chase not occupied with type is filled with blocks of wood called furniture. The type and furniture are locked in place by quoins. When a chase is locked up with type, furniture, and quoins, it is called a forme Forme may refer to the following: * Forme (printing), a chase with type locked up ready for printing * Forme, Å kofja Loka, a settlement in Slovenia * Forme Tour, a professional golf tour See also * FORM (other) * Form (other)< ...

Letterpress
Letterpress printing is a technique of relief printing for producing many copies by repeated direct impression of an inked, raised surface against individual sheets of paper or a continuous roll of paper. A worker composes and locks movable type into the "bed" or "chase" of a press, inks it, and presses paper against it to transfer the ink from the type, which creates an impression on the paper. In practice, letterpress also includes wood engravings; photo-etched zinc plates ("cuts"); linoleum blocks, which can be used alongside metal type; wood type in a single operation; stereotypes; and electrotypes of type and blocks. With certain letterpress units, it is also possible to join movable type with slugs cast using hot metal typesetting. In theory, anything that is "type high" (i.e. it forms a layer exactly 0.918 inches thick between the bed and the paper) can be printed using letterpress. Letterpress printing was the normal form of printing text from its invention by Joha ...

Furniture (typesetting)
In typesetting, furniture is a term for pieces of wood that are shorter than the height of the type. These pieces are used to lay out type by blocking out empty spaces (white space) in a layout set in a chase. Furniture can be made of wood or metal and is of varying lengths and sizes. The term ''furniture'' or ''page furniture'' is also used to refer to items on a page other than the main text and images, such as headlines, byline The byline (or by-line in British English) on a newspaper or magazine article gives the name of the writer of the article. Bylines are commonly placed between the headline and the text of the article, although some magazines (notably '' Reader's ...s or image captions. References Typesetting {{typography-stub ...

Forme (printing)
In typesetting, a forme (or form) is imposed by a ''stoneman'' working on a flat ''imposition stone'' when they assemble the loose components of a page (or number of simultaneously printed pages) into a locked arrangement, inside a chase, ready for printing. If metal type is kept locked up in the typeset document for long periods to allow reprint, this is called "standing type". There are many types of formes in printing in general. The design of the printing surface and the material of the forme depend on the printing process employed. For instance, in letterpress printing, the forme is composed of type or stereotypes made from various materials. In ''intaglio'' printing, etched or engraved metallic cylinders are used, while offset printing employs chemically treated metal plates. In screen printing, the forme consists of a mesh with non-printing areas made impermeable to ink. In flexography, printing is done using either a directly engraved rubber cylinder or a digitally imag ...
