Some of the major types of printing methods
:
Digital printing
Digital printing uses digital imaging technology. You can
send your text and graphics directly from your computer desktop to the press, eliminating the need for typesetting and making plates.
Electrostatic printing
This is similar to photocopying. Here the toner sticks to a charged drum and is thermally fused on to a page.
Embossing
It makes an impression into thick paper over printed type or a design.
Engraving
It produces the sharpest images of all. The image feels indented if you run your fingers over the back of the sheet.
Flexography
It use rubber plates with printed areas raised in relief.
It is used to print packaging materials such as plastic bags, grocery bags, gift wrap or can and bottle labels.
Gravure printing
This is high quality printing technique that uses direct contact between an etched copper plate and the paper.
Used to print high quality, large volume materials such as brochures, magazines, annual reports and mail order catalogues.
Offset lithography
Used to print any variety of different textured materials, this process uses ink economically and requires little time to set up the press.
Screen printing
Here ink is forced through a screen, like a stencil pattern.
It is used to print on items like mugs, bumper stickers, clothing, ring
binders or billboards.
Thermography
This process produces a raised image. A previously printed image
is dusted with a powder before the image's ink has been allowed to dry. Applying heat makes the powder and the ink fuse and form a raised image.
