There are many different types of printing, but offset printing is the most popular, holding 40% of all print jobs. There are three cylinders used to print using this technique. The first is mounted with a printing plate, and the image written with the right side facing up. At this point, ink is applied to the first cylinder, which then transfers the image onto a rubber blanket second cylinder. This would then make the image ‘mirror’, or reversed. Finally, the image is transferred onto the third cylinder from the rubber blanket of the second cylinder. Although this process sounds pretty complex, it’s just another day at work for the team at the print shop in NH, known as The Print Factory!

1. The web fed offset printing press prints on a continuous roll of paper after which is cut to length.
2. The Sheetfed offset printing press takes more time, as this press prints individual sheets that are fed into it one at a time.
