Offset Printing

Offset Printing Services

Offset printing is how Lithographics began back in 1975. Over the last 40+ years, we've been providing offset printing services, it's a printing type we're very experienced in. We feel offset is better than ever with eco-friendly inks, vibrant reproduction, and super-speedy make-readies.

If you're not familiar with this printing technique, offset printing refers to a process where the inked image is transferred, or offset, from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface.

When you use offset print with a lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat planographic image carrier. From this point, Ink rollers then transfer ink to the image areas of the image carrier, the water roller applies a water-based film to the non-image areas. The end result is a beautiful print.
