Full Color Offset Lithography Printing

A lithographic printing is actually an offset printing technique. It is best suited for printing both text and illustrations either in short to medium length runs. It also has the ability to run up one million impressions. Some of the most commonly printer materials using this type of printing technique are as follows: documents requiring quick printing or commercial printing, newspapers, books, various business forms as well as legal documents.

The ink used for the lithographic offset printing is not directly applied from the printing plate or the cylinder to the substrate like in flexography and letter press. On the contrary, the ink is applied to the printing plate in order to form the image or whatever type of artwork and then transferred or offset to a rubber blanket. The image which is now on the blanket will then be transferred to the substrate which is in the form of paper or paperboard. This process will end up in the production of the printed product.
