Types of Offset Printing
Offset printing is a printing process that involves transferring ink from a metal plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface.
The German printer Albert C. Wagner invented offset lithography in the 1880s.
Offset lithography uses simple mechanical parts and does not require any electricity when used with the traditional method of transferring from stone to paper.
This makes it an attractive option for those in remote areas or developing countries who still want to produce books, newspapers, magazines and other items with a low-tech approach.
We can typically use offset printing in high volume production runs and can be more economical than other options such as digital printing where there are high setup costs.

Offset Printing Machine With or Without Plate
Offset printing is a method of printing from a plate with all its types
We use it most commonly in a printing process for commercial printing and large-volume as book production.
Offset lithography became commercially viable in the late nineteenth century with the introduction of rotary presses, which could print on both sides of a sheet at once.
