The hectograph, gelatin duplicator or jellygraph is a printing process that involves transfer of an original, prepared with special inks, to a pan of gelatin or a gelatin pad pulled tight on a metal frame. [1] While the original use of the technology has diminished, it has recently been revived for use in the art world.
A gelatin silver print is composed of four layers: paper base, baryta, gelatin binder, and a protective gelatin layer or overcoat. The multi-layer structure of the gelatin silver print and the sensitivity of the silver imaging salts require specialized coating equipment and fastidious manufacturing technique to produce a consistent product that ...
The hectograph introduced in 1876 or shortly before, was a technology in which a dye-impregnated master copy, not unlike a spirit master, was laid on top of a cake pan full of firm gelatin. After the dye soaked into the gelatin, sheets of paper could be laid on top of the gelatin to transfer the image. This was good for 50 copies at most.

Gelatin is used as a binder in match heads [39] and sandpaper. [40] Cosmetics may contain a non-gelling variant of gelatin under the name hydrolyzed collagen (hydrolysate). Gelatin was first used as an external surface sizing for paper in 1337 and continued as a dominant sizing agent of all European papers through the mid-nineteenth century. [41]
This flexible waxed or coated sheet is backed by a sheet of stiff card stock, with the two sheets bound at the top. Once prepared, the stencil is wrapped around the ink-filled drum of the rotary machine. When a blank sheet of paper is drawn between the rotating drum and a pressure roller, ink is forced through the holes on the stencil onto the ...
The silver gelatin can begin to mirror; Level 3: The film becomes sticky and emits a strong noxious odor (nitric acid) Level 4: The film becomes an amber color and the image starts to fade; Level 5: The film is soft, can adhere to adjacent film, enclosures and other materials; Level 6: The film degenerates into a brownish acid powder
The diameter of the powder used is relative to the density (g/m 2) of the stock (paper or board) being printed. For 150 g/m 2 paper the ideal anti-set-off spray powder would be 15 μm in diameter, for 200 g/m 2 20 μm, through to 70 μm for heavy board (700 g/m 2). Most manufactures of spray powder offer both coated and uncoated powders.
