Offset Printing Technology

Offset Printing Technology

High-precision offset printing on Heidelberg presses with ISO 12647 process control.

Printing technology encompasses traditional and digital methods. Traditional printing includes offset (lithography), letterpress, gravure, and screen printing. Digital printing includes CTP, inkjet, and plateless direct printing.

Offset Printing (Lithography)

Offset uses a flat plate where image and non-image areas attract ink and water respectively. The image transfers via a blanket cylinder to the substrate. It delivers vivid multi-color results and dominates commercial packaging worldwide.

Letterpress, Gravure & Screen

Letterpress uses raised surfaces; gravure uses recessed cells of varying depth; screen printing uses mesh stencils — each suited to specific applications and substrates.

Digital Printing

Direct-from-file printing ideal for short runs, variable data, and rapid prototyping without plate costs.
