Everything about Matrix Printing totally explained
In hot metal
typesetting, a
matrix (often abbreviated to "mat") is a mould for casting the letters known as
sorts used in
letterpress printing.
In letterpress
typography the matrix of one letter is inserted into the bottom of a
hand mould, the mould is locked and molten
type metal is poured into a straight-sided vertical cavity above the matrix. When the metal has cooled and solidified the mould is unlocked and a newly-cast metal sort is removed, ready for composition with other sorts.
In
continuous casting and
composition casting typography, the mats for a complete font are loaded into a matrix-case and inserted into a casting machine, which casts the required sorts for a
page composition automatically.
