Duplicating Processes
Within each type, the methods are arranged in very rough chronological order.
- Methods of copying handwritten letters
- Manifold stylographic writer, using early "carbonic paper"
- Letter copying book process
- Mechanical processes
- Pantograph, manually operated, and can also enlarge or reduce the document

- Relief printing including woodcut
- Intaglio (printmaking) or copperplate engraving
- Planographic printing
- Line engraving
- Printing/Applied ink methods
- Printing press
- Gelatin methods (also indirect method)
- Hectograph
- Collography, autocopyist
- Chromograph, Copygraph, Polygraph
- Flexography

Famous quotes containing the word processes:
“The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
