Glossary Of Printing Terms

Offset Printing Offset printing, also known as offset lithography, is a widely used printing technique in which ink is transferred from a printing plate to a rubber blanket cylinder and then onto the printing substrate, typically paper. Offset printing is based on the principle of oil and water repulsion, where the image areas on the printing plate attract ink, while the non-image areas repel ink.
Offset printing is capable of producing high-quality prints with sharp detail, vibrant colors, and consistent results, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including newspapers, magazines, books, packaging, and marketing materials. Offset printing offers advantages such as fast printing speeds, cost-effectiveness for large print runs, and compatibility with a variety of paper stocks and finishes. |
