Tracing of map, or part of it, on transparent paper or plastic, done by contact printing is called what?

• A. Scribing
• B. Pull-up
• C. Photostat
• D. 3 Color Process

Answer: (B)

Tracing a map onto a transparent sheet by pressing it against the original so the lines transfer is a contact-printing method. This specific process is called pull-up. It differs from drawing directly on the surface (scribing), from making a photographic copy (photostat), or from color separation work (3 Color Process). Pull-up is the term that describes creating an overlay by transferring the existing lines onto acetate or plastic through contact.
