Offset lithography is a widely used printing process for producing high volumes of materials such as magazines, catalogues, and newspapers. The method works by applying inks in separate layers-typically cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK)-to build up the final full-colour image.
In this process, ink is first transferred onto a metal printing plate, then offset onto a rubber-covered cylinder, and finally applied to the paper. The ink adheres only to areas corresponding to each colour in the image, allowing for precise and consistent reproduction. Offset lithography is valued for its efficiency, high quality, and ability to produce large print runs with accurate colour detail.
