pouncing [′pau̇ns·iŋ]
(graphic arts) A method of making copies of patterns and signs; a master drawing is made on paper of the design to be copied, and the lines are traced with a pounce wheel; the teeth perforate the paper with 12 to 24 holes per inch; the master drawing is then placed on the permanent support, and powder is forced through the holes, effectively transferring the drawing.
