Owns multiple Heidelberg color printing press
The Colors of Beautiful
Offset printing is the most commonly used method in commercial printing. The process begins with a designer preparing the artwork, which is then transferred onto printing plates using a CTP (Computer-to-Plate) system, with a separate plate required for each color. The image is first transferred from the plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the paper. As different inks are applied to the rollers, the paper passes through the press, receiving layers of ink that gradually build up the final image, accurately reproducing the original design. Offset printing is widely recognized as one of the highest-quality printing processes in the industry.
