All about Printing.There are two main press types: a sheetfed press that prints on individual sheets of paper; and a web press which prints on a continuous roll of paper. Both of these press types use a very similar process called offset printing (a printing technique whereby ink is spread over a metal plate with etched images, transferred to an intermediary surface such as a rubber blanket, and then finally applied to the paper). Eighty-five percent of all the printing we manage uses these two press types. The remaining fifteen percent use equipment that helps in adding the finishing touches to your job.
Digital printing is a process that requires no plates etc. Its a direct process from computer to printing machine to paper. This includes laser printing, and large format printing (signs, posters, etc). |
