Offset printing is a widely used printing technique that transfers ink from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface, usually paper. This method allows for high-quality images and text, making it ideal for producing large volumes of printed materials like books, magazines, and brochures. The process begins with creating a metal or polymer plate that carries the image to be printed. Once the plate is inked, the image is offset onto the rubber blanket, which then applies it to the final surface. This indirect transfer helps achieve sharp and consistent results, making offset printing a popular choice in the printing industry.
