  1. 1. The world has come a long way since the time Johannes Gutenberg had introduced printing. His pioneering printing press has pushed foreword the basic concept of offset and wide format printing. His invention of the movable type revolutionized the process; making it faster and efficient. However, today the industry encompasses several types of mainstream printing methods that are used everyday to specific purposes. Here are Some Popular Printing Process you Should Know: Digital Printing: It's fairly new in the color printing services industry and has quickly become a preferred choice of printing for its accuracy, perfection and efficiency. Unlike other processes, the prototype can be fed directly from the computer to the digital printing press, without the need of preparing several plates for the job. This also eliminates the need of making at-least several prints because no screens of plates are involved. Any image at any time can be printed without hassle. The ink form a layer on the paper without being absorbed. Furthermore, chemical and paper wastage is less and is perfect for rapid prototyping.
  2. 2. Offset Lithography Printing: This is one of the most popular printing process, known for being cost-effective when large quantities of prints are required. It facilitates quality prints at a faster pace as machine set-up is easy. Here, the roller plates are treated to attract ink in the image area and water on the blank space. The image or design is pressed on the rubber blanket which is then pressed on the paper. Hence, the name 'offset' as ink is not printed directly on the paper. However, after the preparation of printing plates, design cannot be changed. For any alteration, a new plate has to be prepared. Screen Printing: One of the earliest form of printing process; yet very efficient and cost-effective. Furthermore, this is the only process that can be handle certain applications. In screen printing, the ink is forced through a screen, like a stencil on a surface, thereby imprinting the cut-out shape. This is one of the most versatile process that can used for any surface material like wood, metal, plastic, fabric, paper and more. Plus, it can be used for any uneven surface. Because of its simplicity, the customers can choose from a wide variety of colors and can apply a thicker layer on the surface for raised effects.
  3. 3. Emboss Printing: This printing technique is used to create raised, 3-dimensional figure on paper. It makes an impression based on the design. It can be an inward impression or an outward impression. The image can be created on any ductile material. The process uses a metal die and a counter metal die, commonly made form brass; which presses the paper with applied heat; thereby realigning the fiber of the substance. It is typically expensive and is opted by key persons of a company. Aforementioned are some of the most popular ans widely used printing process opted by business around the world. There are numerous other processes but with increasing digitization of print media, some have become obsolete. On the other hand, digital printing service has flourished in recent years for its flexibility of producing images.
