Q
how offset printing is done
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Offset printing, a widely used technique for high-volume printing, functions on the principle of transferring an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, then onto the printing surface. The process begins with the creation of a plate, usually made of aluminum, which carries the image to be printed. This plate is dampened first by water, then by ink; the water adheres to the non-image areas while the ink sticks only to the image areas. Subsequently, the inked image is transferred (offset) from the plate to a rubber blanket and finally pressed onto the paper or printing surface, creating a crisp, clean print. This method is prized for its high image quality, efficiency, and capability to produce large quantities of prints with consistent color and detail. Offset printing is ideal for brochures, newspapers, magazines, and books. The process's cost-effectiveness for large runs and its adaptability to various paper types and sizes make it a preferred choice for many commercial printing needs.
