Printing Processes

Lithography



Lithography is also known as (Offset Lithography or Litho) is the most common CMYK printing process. This process includes the etched aluminium plate wrapped around the cylinder which then transfers the ink to an ‘offset’ rubber blanket which is then rolled onto the print surface. The plate doesnt touch the paper when litho is used, however the ink does have to be mixed with water. This process is ideal for large quantities of high quality stationary including Letterheads, Business Cards, Leaflets etc.
