Chemigrapher , or chemigrapher (literally: scribe / draftsman / painter who uses chemistry; see photographer: Licht-Schreiber), is a specialist occupation in the graphic arts that has died out since 1998 . The job description was integrated into the training occupation media designer for digital and print media . The original name of the apprenticeship was cliché etcher , but the work of the chemigrapher originally also included the work of the post-cutter and the proofer .

The task of Chemigrafen consisted by the reproduction photographer movies delivered or color separations for multicolor printing photographic technology to prepared zinc - copper - or magnesium to transfer plates and out of them not herauszuätzen to print parts. The end product was called a cliché, which was used as a printing block in the relief printing process.

Letterpress printing (letterpress printing) is hardly used today, which is why the job description of the chemographer no longer exists. In the print finishing chemigraphy is still used for the production of embossing clichés for blind or leather embossing.

In 1998 the apprenticeship of chemigrapher became that of flexographer .
