Hugo Knudsen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Knudsen was an American printer, eponym of the Knudsen process for fine lithography, patented in 1915. He worked for the Offset Printing Plate Company of New York.

Invented and developed the lithographic half tone printing process which is still in use today [1], and at the time it was superior to any other known method of photo and picture reproduction. This process was used by Alfred Stieglitz.

Close friend (and brother-in-law) of Alfred Kreymborg.

Married to Beatrice (Bea) Bloom.
