What technical development during the 1960s rendered cast metal type obsolete?
This is a question for people who are familiar with Graphic Design. If you haven't been to college yet, don't bother responding. Thanks.
It was the introduction of phototypesetting machines which made metal type obsolete. The earlier process of creating an entire finished page of metal simply to be photographed wasted considerable time and material. In the mid-twentieth century, new photographic and computer technology was used to create a method of setting type directly onto photographic plates, thus bypassing the metal casting stage entirely. Such systems of typesetting are called phototypesetting, or photocomposition.
