Offset printing is one of the oldest printing methods that are in use in today’s printing industry. However, no matter how old it maybe, printing in offset remains one of the most reliable printing methods there is. For those who are new in the world of printing, read on and know more about facts and details when you print in offset.
Quality images
The reason why offset printing has remained the printing method of choice in today’s printing industry is because of the quality image that it produces. The offset printing method makes use of the CMYK color space that produces a wide array of colors in which you can use in your prints. These colors are crisp and vibrant bringing life to any image that you print.
Also, printing in offset lets you avail of different color printing options that you can use. For example, if you want to save on cost and you only need one or two colors in your project, offset printing allows you to do just that. One and two color printing options are available depending upon the needs of your project.
Bulk printing? No problem
Another reason why printing in offset never goes out of style is because it handles your bulk printing orders very well. No matter how large your orders are, offset printing can handle them with no problems. The way offset printing operates lets it print continuously without breaking down. It uses plates as patterns for your designs and these plates are so sturdy that they can be used again and again.
Fast and easy
Printing in offset also allows you to finish your job at a fast turn around. This means that you can print your projects and have them done in no time. The offset printing process allows for very fast impression rates that can reach up to 30,000 imprints per hour.
During the early years, the one criticism that can be said about printing in offset is that the pre press phase of the printing process takes up a considerable amount of time. There were many mechanical process involved like plate production, film stripping and color separation during the early times of offset printing. However, developments in printing technology have made the pre press phase in offset a little bit faster. The new direct to plate technology allows offset printers to easily produce plates that you can use thus, making the case for a faster and easier printing process.
Longer lasting images
The materials that you create when you print in offset also are longer lasting than the prints that you create with other printing methods. This is because when the plates pass through ink rollers, the colors are “stamped” in place rather than just being sprayed on top of the substrate. This enables the inks on your prints to bond with the substrate. A stronger bond between the substrate and the ink means your inks will less likely to chip off when they are crumpled or folded.
