Definitions

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

  1. n. In printing, a thin framework of iron hinged to the top of the tympan of a hand-press. For use, a sheet of paper is stretched and pasted over the frisket, and from this paper spaces are cut out to permit contact between the type and the sheet to be printed, which it serves to hold in place when the frisket is folded down upon the tympan, and to keep clean in the parts not printed.

Wiktionary

GNU Webster's 1913

  1. n. The light frame which holds the sheet of paper to the tympan in printing.
