Most of the early methods of colour printing involved using several types of printing blocks, one for each colour and these were combined to create the needed hues. Other methods included using a single leaf print. The chiaroscuro woodcut method for instance was when a standard woodcut block with a linear image imprinted on it was overlaid with ink and then used to print in a variety of different colours based on what the tone blocks dictated. This was a method which was developed in Germany, and when used in Italy the effect was more akin to a wash drawing. This technique was further advanced by Jacob Christoph Le Blon who invented the use of three intaglio plates to overprint and create a wide range of colours.
In the nineteenth century, there was a modern revival of sorts with the colour printing method and woodcuts were used once more and to such a success that they developed a widespread popularity across the country. Minuteman Press are full colour printers in Strijdom Park who have achieved success thanks to the use of these evolved printing methods such as laser and inkjet printing.
