What is litho printing?
Also known as litho or offset printing, the lithographic printing process has been around for centuries, and despite modern advancements in the industry such as digital print technologies, litho still remains a popular choice for producing high quality, high volume prints.
How it works: Modern lithographic printing involves the creation of printing plates (which used to be stones) are treated in such a way that, when ink is applied, the wet non-image areas repel the oil-based inks (oil and water do not mix), adhering only to the images to be printed. The ink is then transferred onto a rubber blanket which is then pressed onto the paper or other substrate as it is pulled through the machine.
Benefits of litho printing
