Definition of offset printing
Also called litho printing. A printing process in which the inked image is transferred from the plate to an intermediate blanket before being printed on the substrate. There are two types of offset printing - wet offset and dry offset. Wet offset is based on the principle that oil (ink) and water do not mix. Both the image and non-image areas are on the same plane of the image and non-image areas are on the same plane of the plate. A dampening solution is used, and the image and non-image areas are separated chemically. Dry offset printing uses a plate with relief (raised) type, so no dampening solution is required.
