Define letterpress

A process used for numbering items (e.g. tickets) and specialty printing effects, such as embossing.With letterpress printing, a raised surface is inked so that, when it strikes the surface of the paper, the image is transferred. It has lost much of its importance in the face of lithographic printing.

Define offset lithography

The most popular type of printing for newspapers and most magazines, offset printing uses a smooth-surfaced and chemically treated plate to transfer the image. Based on the principle that oil and water don’t mix, the oil-based ink adheres to parts of the image but not to other parts.The offset plates are produced photographically.

Define Rotogravure

A process used for long print runs with high-quality photographic reproduction. Rotogravure printing uses an incised surface.The images are engraved into the plate and ink collects in these little wells.When the plate strikes the surface of the paper, ink is transferred from the wells to the paper. Gravure is used chiefly in mass circulation magazine printing, since it is an especially good method for long runs of good quality colour work.10

Define flexography

A procedure that prints on unusual surfaces and shapes, such as mugs and balls. Flexography uses a rubber-surface printing plate that can be bent to print on irregular surfaces. The plate transfers ink similarly to offset printing.

Define screen printing

Screen printing is a stencil method of printing used to print posters,T-shirts and point-of-sale materials. Silk-screen printing uses a porous screen of silk, nylon or stainless steel mounted on a frame.A stencil image is made either by hand or using a photographic process and the stencil is adhered to the screen.The stencil blocks the non-printing areas and the areas to be printed are left open. Using a squeegee, ink is forced through the screen onto the printing surface.
