Offset Printing And Its Terminology


Aqueous Coating : Aqueous coating is a water-based protective coating, this is applied at finishing stage instead of varnishing, this brings high gloss surface which protects the surface from scratches, dirt, smudges and fingerprints, etc.,  This coating is applied on marketing material, catalogue covers, and other visual ads.

Impression (offset Printing) cylinder: The Impression cylinder presses the paper against the plate or blanket and then the images are being transferred to the paper. The cylinders rotate in the opposite direction of rotation of the blanket cylinder.

Colour Management System: To achieve effective and quality uniformity throughout the printing process, we need to implement effective Colour Management System.

Fountain Solution: To protect / prevent the absorption of the ink on printing plates a mixture of water and chemicals were applied. This mixture is called as Fountain Solution.

LPI : Lines per Inch is a series of parallel lines, these are created digitally through computer programs and these will define the number of lines per vertical.

Ultraviolet Inks: UV colors contain special chemicals which accelerate the process as soon as it exposed to UV light.

There are various kinds of machines which help the offset printers hyderabad process and generate quality image transfer to paper. And these plates and rollers may need to be changed based on the quality of the plates, in general 3,000-4,000 impressions will be transferred to the paper, after that the quality of the plate will starts depleting. Good quality printing process, keeps these into consideration and they keep the additional plates ready to be replaced, so the printing process doesn’t get disturbed and output rate will be maintained.


For decades Offset Printing is at higher level due to the various printing processes and ever updating the technology and demand for the cost-effective and high-output at lesser price.

Offset Printing Technology Hyderabad



Offset Printing is the most widely used method of printing today, this a method is approached when you need high quantity and consistent image quality.

Offset printing hyderabad is a printing process for printing required on flat surface, with and without aluminium plates. The page layout or the design is converted into images and transferred to a offset plate. Based on the printing required, and technology being used, required Inks and water / other chemicals will be applied to the plate. Because of this pre-production process inks will only sticks to the image areas or printing area, this area is doesn’t absorbs the water, other areas will reject inks. Once the plate making process is completed, the image with inks will be transported to the blanket. Printing blankets are nothing but special multi-layer rubber rollers, which transports the image to the paper. 


How is the printing Process works:

CMYK are the colours being used in OffsetPrinting for correct image re-production. Whereas “C” stands for Cyan, “M” for Magenta, “Y” stands for Yellow and “K” for Black / Key plate.

The benefits of Offset Printing:

·         Excellent Quality: The final output will be precise, clean and clear (along with the technology the quality is also depends upon the printers / printing technicians.
·         Fast and cost-effective development of printing pates.
·         Easy to use : most of the advanced machine are not that complicate, but, having said that, it is not a child play at all.

·         RoI : provided we have good practical knowledge and cut the wastage, then the final output will be very cost-effective and excellent quality product is assured.
