What is the difference between offset printing and other printing?

Offset printing, also known as offset printing, is a kind of lithography and the main printing method at present. Offset printing can clearly restore the color, contrast and level of the manuscript with high precision, and it is the most commonly used paper printing method at present. Suitable for posters, brochures, brochures, newspapers, packaging, books, magazines, calendars and other related color printed matter.

Other common printing methods corresponding to offset printing are:

Flexo printing is a kind of relief printing technology, also called aniline printing. Rubber and soft resin are used as printing plates and water-soluble pigments are used for printing. The pigment used at first was aniline dye, so it used to be called aniline printing. It is usually suitable for printing plastic bags, labels and corrugated paper. The fineness of printing points and lines gradually approaches offset printing.

As a widely used printing, screen printing can be divided into fabric printing, plastic printing, metal printing, ceramic printing, glass printing, electronic product printing, lottery screen printing, electronic decorative billboard screen printing, metal billboard screen printing, stainless steel finished screen printing, reflective screen printing, screen transfer anodizing, screen printing printed matter and lacquer screen printing.

Gravure printing is suitable for printing high-quality and expensive printed matter. Whether it is color or black and white pictures, the effect of gravure printing can be comparable to that of photographic photos. Because the cost of plate making is expensive and the printing volume must be large, it is generally one of the less used methods. Suitable for printing securities, stocks, gift certificates, commercial credit certificates or stationery.
