Consistent high image quality– sharper & cleaner.The advantages of offset printing include: · Consistent high image quality – sharper and cleaner than letterpress because the rubber blanket conforms to the texture of the printing surface.· Usability on a wide range of printing surfaces in addition to smooth paper (e.g.,non absorbent substrate)· Quick and easy production of printing plates.

It is a process which uses an etched thin, flexible metal plate that fits to a curved cylinder. The inked image is transferred, or offset, from this plate to a revolving rubber covered cylinder, which in turn transfers the image to the paper/board. See similar questions...

Ink Colors.Commercial offset printing (also known as offset lithography) utilize four basic ink colors: CMYK. Dots of cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow, and black (the K) are placed next to each other in specific patterns that trick the eye into seeing millions of colors. Additionally, offset printing can use premixed inks in a variety of specific colors as well as metallic and fluorescent inks. These are called spot colors. See similar questions...

Offset printing works with all types of line art, close registration of ink colors, bendays, half tones, duo-tones, and 4-color process images. This process is ideal for full ink coverage, reverses, and bleeds. With letterpress, the ink is impressed on the paperboard or tissue sheet. It works best with simple messages and designs of 1 to 2 colors. See similar questions...

It depends. It is important to realize that the Offset printing and Silkscreen printing are two processes fundamentally different. They are used for different purposes. Offset printing will be used for complex artwork with gradual colours and many details. And Silkscreen printing will be used for simpler artwork with a precise number of colours. For further details, please refer to question #12, "What is the difference between offset printing and silkscreen printing?" See similar questions...

For smaller quantities (under 500) it is usually most economical to go with a photocopier or digital color copier. There are usually limitations to certain types of paper and specifications. If you need larger runs (500 or more) or specific requirements (i.e. high gloss paper, foil stamping, full bleeds, etc.) the offset printing press may be the best (or only) choice.

Offset printing, or offset lithography, requires extensive equipment and specialized operators. Printing presses are designed for mass production of printed material. As a result, offset printing requires substantial setup and the costs of this setup must be distributed among the quantity of printed materials. For process color printing on 11x17 paper, quanities of 1000 or more must be ordered before the cost per print begins to be linear versus quanity. See similar questions...
