Offset printing - what is it?
Offset printing is also called lithography. We can call the latter technique one of the most popular in the printing industry. The principle of offset printing is simple: the printing form is attached to the printing cylinder. That printing plates passes through a dampening system, then through an ink system where the printing elements are coated with ink. The right balance of the wetting fluid and the paint is crucial to the result. The ink is transferred from the printing plates to the surface using an intermediate cylinder.
