The Printer Service Pros at Laser Line Explain Offset Printing Technology
By Laser Line
There’s nothing more frustrating than waiting in line for your important copies at the office printer. Whether the current equipment is outdated or simply cannot keep up with the demands of a busy office, slow printers can hold you back and impair your job performance. Laser Line, a professional printer service and printer sales company, has been supplying businesses throughout the Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia area with printers and copiers since 1989. When clients have a massive print job, they recommend offset printing equipment.
Offset printing has become a favorite amongst printing professionals. If you need to make large quantity copies, it’s the perfect choice for optimal value, speed, and quality. That’s why it’s perfect for newspapers, books, marketing materials, or long annual reports. At its core, offset printing uses a technique where an inked image is “offset” or transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. This printing method is founded on the principle that oil and water do not mix. During the printing process, the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers and the areas that should be blank attract a water-based film known as a fountain solution. This solution keeps desired areas ink-free.
