Why Choose Offset Printing for Your Chicago Business?

The Science Behind Offset Lithography Printing: How Does Offset Printing Work?
Our Chicago offset printing process utilizes cutting-edge technology based on a simple yet ingenious principle: the natural repulsion between oil and water. Here's how we bring your designs to life:
Design Transfer: Your image is precisely etched onto a metal plate
Ink Application: Oil-based ink adheres only to the etched image areas
Water Barrier: Non-image areas retain water, repelling the ink
Offset Process: The image transfers from plate to rubber roller to paper
Color Layering: Each color (CMYK) is applied separately for perfect accuracy
