Also called offset  lithography, this form of printing produces the bulk of mass printing  production used by businesses and organizations of all types.  While the concept isn&#8217;t new, the state-of-the-art technologies on our  21st century equipment enable fast, reliable and affordable printing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printingforless.com\/images\/PlateAndBlanketCylinders.jpg\" alt=\"offset press cylinders\" width=\"231\" height=\"213\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Plate and blanket cylinders\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RW1HJdW5XLs\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Offset Printing?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Offset lithography operates on a simple principle: ink and water \ndon&#8217;t mix. Image information (art and text) is put on thin metal plates \nwhich are dampened by water and ink by rollers on the press. The \noil-based ink adheres to the image area, the water to the non-image \narea. The inked area is then transferred to a rubber cylinder or \n&#8220;blanket&#8221; and then onto the paper as it passes around the blanket. The \nprocess is called &#8220;offset&#8221; since the image doesn&#8217;t go directly from the \nplates to the paper, but is offset or transferred to another surface as \nan intermediary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it called 4-Color Printing?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Offset commercial printing presses and inkjet desktop printers both use four basic ink colors: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.printingforless.com\/color.html\">CMYK<\/a>.\n Where inkjet printing puts all the different ink colors on the paper in\n one pass through the printer, in offset printing each color of ink is \napplied separately &#8211; one plate per color. Small dots of the four inks &#8211; \ncyan (blue), magenta, yellow, and black (K) &#8211; are deposited in specific \npatterns that make our eyes believe we are seeing a wide range of \ncolors. That&#8217;s why the standard offset printing process is often called \n4-color process lithography or 4-color printing. \n\nOffset printing can also use premixed inks in specific colors including metallic and fluorescent colors, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.printingforless.com\/Custom-Printing-Services.html\">spot colors<\/a>, to obtain hues outside the normal color range of process printing.\n   \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use Offset Printing?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">The advantages of traditional commercial offset printing are higher \nquality and the best cost-effectiveness for quantities over a few \nhundred, especially high volume quantities.\n \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Low price per piece<\/strong>. The more you print, the less you pay \nper piece, since most of the cost is in the setup. With a commercial \nprinter, any additional quantity costs only a few cents per sheet for \nthe paper and ink.<\/li><li><strong>Brilliant quality<\/strong>. Offset printing produces rich, accurate color and high-quality images and photographs, with sharp typefaces and fine details.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"> \nWhen you need 250 to 500 or more business cards, postcards, posters, \nglossy brochures, flyers or catalogs, offset printing is tough to beat \nfor high-end quality at an affordable price. 4 color offset printing \nenables small businesses to compete with the &#8220;big guys&#8221; by providing \nprofessional-looking marketing materials.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printingforless.com\/images\/OffsetPrintingPlateMounting.jpg\" alt=\"Printing plate being mounted\" width=\"196\" height=\"176\"\/><figcaption> Plate being mounted  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s involved in setting up an offset printing run?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">To start a press run, the imaged plates are clamped onto the plate \ncylinders and the ink settings are adjusted for the density of ink \nneeded for the particular run. The press operator then runs a batch of \ninitial sheets through the press at low speed and carefully checks \nregistration (alignment) of the colors and the ink\/water balance to \nensure full and steady ink flow for accurate color reproduction. The \noperator can adjust the plate positions and ink density while the press \nis running at low speed. This set up process is called a &#8220;make ready,&#8221; \nwhere highly-skilled operators prepare the press for perfect offset \nprinting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there different types of offset printing presses?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Yes. &#8220;Sheet-fed&#8221; offset printing presses run individual sheets, \nranging from &#8220;full size&#8221; sheet-fed presses running sheets that are about\n 28 x 40 inches, to &#8220;half size&#8221; and &#8220;quarter size&#8221; which use \nproportionately smaller sheets. &#8220;Web-offset&#8221; presses are fed from a \nlarge roll of paper, which goes through the press in a continuous length\n of paper, called a &#8220;web.&#8221; Sheet-fed presses are generally used for \nbusiness marketing printing, while web presses are more cost-effective \nfor high volume printing of catalogs, newspaper inserts and magazines \n(around 50,000 quantity or more depending on the size and type of \npiece).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Offset Printing explain by DNS-IRAN Offset Printing Press Commercial Offset Printing is the standard commercial printing method used around the world since the 20th century.
