Summary

Making-Up Sheets of Labels. &c.—134. Having determined upon the size of the sheet, or portion of the sheet, upon which it is proposed to print, it must be set out with a pair of dividers, and ruled with pencil into as many squares, oblongs, or other shapes as are to be printed at one time. By the method already described for taking transfers, pull as many transfers as required, taking notice that each one is good enough for the purpose. Trim them round neatly with a pair of scissors, a little within the size of the space marked on the paper, holding them in such a manner as not in any way to soil them. With a small stiff brush, or other convenient instrument, lay a little thick paste at the corners of the spaces marked, and carefully lay the transfer upon it, sliding it or shifting it into position by the help of a pointed penknife, or any similar tool, using the same to press the transfer upon the pasted portion of the paper, so as to maintain it in place. See that it is right by the help of a straightedge or parallel ruler, and proceed to the next transfer; and so on until all are done. When the pieces to be handled are very small, and have comparatively no margin, a pair of spring forceps, such as are used by watchmakers, will be found very convenient in laying the little pieces in position.
