HOW DOES OFFSET PRINTING WORK?

• Offset printing is a printing technique in its
  own right. Indeed, this technique has a complex
  and unique operation. Offset printing is a
  mechanism made up of three cylinders, all of
  which have their part to play in printed matter.
  On the first cylinder, a flexible aluminum plate
  is present to represent the image of the visual
  on the plate. The second cylinder is made of a
  layer of rubber gum to accommodate the image to
  be printed on the paper. Finally, the last
  cylinder reproduces the printing with great
  precision and in high quality. The paper is thus
  pressed on the rubber cylinder to make the visual
  appear on the support.

THE ADVANTAGES OF OFFSET PRINTING

• Offset printing is a printing process that offers
  many advantages. Indeed, this printing technique
  makes it possible to reduce costs for all
  high-volume printing. For example, for newspaper
  printing, offset is the most suitable printing
  technique. In addition, offset printing provides
  high quality printing thanks to the precision of
  these three cylinders. The prints are made on
  large format sheets. Thus, it is possible to
  print many visuals on the same sheet. It is
  therefore a real asset for professionals in order
  to reduce printing costs.

  every day whether in the office or at home. This
  technique appeared thanks to the evolution of
  computing. With this process, there are several
  types of printing such as, for example, printing
  with liquid ink jets, fired inks or even powder
  inks. Inkjet printing is preferred for vinyl
  printing as it naturally penetrates the fibers of
  the backing.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRINTERS FOR
DIGITAL PRINTING?

• There are two types of printers for digital
  printing namely laser and jet. The jet printer is
  the most common as it is a printer found in
  offices or at home. The cartridges are made of
  liquid ink. Rather, the laser printer is used
  with a powder ink that settles on the paper and
  adheres the paper in a single pass.

• Depending on the printing needs of your
  customers, it may be worth choosing between
  offset printing or digital printing. For example,
  for large-run printing such as magazines or
  newspapers, offset printing is a good addition to
  reducing printing costs. However, if your
  customers want to print business cards or other
  printing media then digital printing is
  recommended and makes it easier to print the
  media in a timely manner.
