What is "offset printing"?
Offset printing is a common method used to produce large quantities of high-quality printed materials. In this process, an image is first transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then from the blanket to the paper. This indirect transfer helps to ensure that the ink is evenly applied and that the print is sharp and clear. Offset printing is widely used for producing books, newspapers, and brochures because it is efficient and capable of handling large runs with consistent quality.
