1963Publishers' Weekly 5 Aug. 87/1 A new name, ‘Letterset’, for what was formerly called ‘dry litho’ has been coined. Letterset refers to printing through the use of relief wrap-around plates and an intermediate blanket cylinder to transfer the image to the surface being printed. 1967V. Strauss Printing Industry vi. 288/1. In 1962 Miehle and du Pont coined the term ‘letterset’..for indirect relief printing. Dry offset of the past and contemporary letterset are based on the same principle but differ widely in actual performance. 1973S. Jennett Making of Bks.
