Offset Printing Process
The technique used for the publishing of brochures, flyers, magazines and other things on mass levels used for visual communication is known as offset printing.
This technique of lithography is ideal for the above mentioned products because of the assembly line styling. Multiple printers are integrated in a row by the assembly line through which the pages or the material to be published is cycled.
All the layout machines are set to copy only one color in the CMYK format which is (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). Ink is used in this process in place of toner, producing more vibrant and visible colors.
Offset printing in Dubai is proved to be
effective and best for publications as in this process ink doesn't crack when
the paper gets folded.
Ideal
usage of Offset Printing:-
This technique of lithography is
ideally used for producing large quantities because each machine is calibrated
accordingly in the assembly line to the required specifications of each task. Offset printing has a
small drawback that it produces one sided page at one time so if you need the
page to be published on both sides it is done by cycling the page for the
second time.

handy to be used in the current times or not.
