What We Do

What is Offset Printing?

Offset printing is one of the most popular printing techniques used for a number of publishing requirements. A positive inked image is transferred, or offset, from a plate cylinder onto a rubber printing blanket which is then transferred onto the printing surface.

Commonly used and combined with lithography, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, once the ink is transferred, a water roller then applies a water-based film to non-image areas.

Offset printing services use a flat image carrier that offers efficient double-sided printing and a heated dryer that dries ink instantaneously.
