First printing was being done using wooden blocks, being
known as woodblock printing. Since then, it’s a roller-coaster ride to reach
the stage of offset printing. It was
first started in England by Robert Barclay. From that time, it continues to dominate
the commercial printing domain. Offset printing service developed so much
because of the quality of paper and ink, durability of the plates used,
cost-effectiveness and usefulness in doing bulk work.
Nowadays offset printing services are used extensively in
newspaper industry. The other industries such as books and advertisement
industry are also using it. An offset printing service is a very complicated
process. Though it may seem very easy and simple at first sight, it’s really
a complex process. There are three
parts-a printing plate cylinder, an impression cylinder, a rubber-wrapped
blanket cylinder.
The process
is like this-first the printing plate is e exposed to ink, then the image is
transferred to the rubber on the blanket cylinder and again that is brought
back to the paper. As the paper is held against the blanket cylinder, the image
is finally transferred to the paper.
Next, Offset printing opens up your creative side in printing
materials. One such aspect of this is bindery printing; it makes you to take
advantage of insert printing that can create insert advertising materials for a
newspaper or magazine. It includes another aspect such as circular printing
services, which prints regular advertisements that helps in disseminating news
about your service, products and promotions.

coexist with offset instead of looking for a way to substitute it.
