Offset Printing
Offset printing is a widely used printing technique where ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket, then onto the printing surface. It’s called “offset” because the ink is not directly applied to the paper; instead, it’s offset onto the rubber blanket before transferring to the paper. This process is advantageous for high-quality printing of various materials like newspapers, magazines, brochures, books, and stationery.
How does Offset Printing Works
Offset printing is the most popular technique for commercial printing. It has been around since the 20th century, helping businesses mass produce stationery, booklets, brochures, magazines and cards. Also called offset lithography, commercial offset printing is also used to label packages such as boxes or cartons.
