Printing Plate

The term “printing plate” is often mentioned in the same breath as offset printing. Offset printing was the standard before the birth of digital printers — and some prefer offset printing to this day. The same is true for us here at PrintRunner as the majority of our products like business cards, brochures, envelopes, and catalogs are printed through offset printing.

Offset printing works by transferring an image onto a metal sheet known as printing plates through a photomechanical or photochemical process. Typically, there is one plate for every color in the design to be printed. Once done, the plates are attached to cylindrical plate holders where ink and water are applied as the paper material passes through.

Offset printing relies on the use of printing plates to transfer your design onto paper.

From planning and filing to the completion of printed matter, printing must go through many procedures, combined with the professional skills of countless people, such as graphic designers, commercial photographers, copywriters, typewriters, artists, color separation technicians, printing technicians, Public workers, printing technicians, bookbinding, varnishing and various processing technicians, etc., without any one, can not successfully complete the printed matter, so they are all important contributors.
