i82 The Printer's Dictionary

Patent Outside —Said of a newspaper or other publication having one side printed at a city establishment making such work a specialty, while the other side, usually containing local news, etc., is printed in the home town. This arrangement is an economical one for the publisher in a small place, as he can purchase partly-printed sheets, with stories, household recipes, and miscellaneous matter, at a price a little in advance of the white paper, thus saving the expense of setting up and printing one-half of his sheet. Newspapers of this class are known as " patent " out-sides or insides according to whether the part supplied is the outside or inside of the completed sheet. The economy in producing a " patent " sheet comes from utilizing the same matter for many newspapers issued in different places, the change of headings, date, etc., being all that is required to print each paper after the pages are once set. The patent outside is not now so common as it was twenty-five years ago, publishers having a natural pride in producing a " home print " paper whenever possible ; the greatly increased facilities now within reach of the "country'" printer, with cheap machine composition, as well as the more convenient ready-set stereot}pe plates that are now furnished daily by central ofiices in large cities, all have tended to make the "patent outside" an antiquated method of publishing. Also called ready print.
