Some information about Offset printing in general: The offset is a technology of printing, it takes check from the old technique of lithography. The transfer of ink to paper takes place by an indirect route, the matrix of the press, which is an aluminum plate, an inking cylinder “lined” by a sheet of rubber which coming in contact with the sheet of paper imparts the same.
