5 Fun Facts About Printing Let’s be honest. Computers and the internet are not going away anytime soon. But what does this mean for print?

  Offset Printing Technique In commercial printing, offset printing, also known as offset lithography or litho-offset, is a commonly used printing process in which an inked image on a printing plate is printed on a rubber cylinder before being transferred (i.e., offset) to paper or other medium. The rubber cylinder allows for a wide range of printing applications, including wood, fabric, metal, leather, and rough paper. Ira W. Rubel of Nutley, New Jersey, discovered the method by accident in 1904 and quickly built a press to use it. The subject to be printed in offset printing is neither elevated above the surface of the printing plate (as in letterpress) nor sunk below it (as in screen printing) (as in intaglio, or gravure, printing). Instead, it is flush with the plate’s surface, classifying offset as a planographic printing process.
