Offset Printing

Offset printing technology utilizes aluminum plates to transfer an image onto a blanket that is made with rubber. This image is then rolled onto a sheet of paper. Another name for offset printing is offset lithography. This is called offset printing because the ink isn’t directly transferred on the paper. The presses that are used for offset printing are very efficient when set up. They are a great choice when producing larger quantities and provide a crisp, clean look. You will always receive an accurate color reproduction in your print. This form of printing produces the highest degree of control of color, quality on the widest variety of stock.

What exactly is the difference between digital printing and offset printing? Traditional offset printing is done on a printing press and uses wet ink on printing plates. This requires a bit more setup time and the process takes a little longer to produce. This is because the final product has to dry before finishing can take place. This form of printing is the most economical choice and allows you to produce a large number of prints with a few originals. Digital printing on the other hand used to be referred to as ‘copying’. Digital printing is the fastest option to create short runs. It does produce a very similar outcome to offset printing but only works on some forms of stocks today. Yes, digital printing works well on most stocks these days, but some jobs work better with offset printing.

This is the process for offset printing: the design is first burned onto metal plates and this is done for each color (yellow, black, cyan, and magenta). Although these are the base colors, offset printing allows for customized ink colors. The design is then transferred from the plates onto rubber rolls and a paper will roll between them. When the paper gets through all of the rolls then the color will be layered on to get to the final image.
