<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Deciding On What Method To Choose With Full Color Offset Printing</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by John Pager</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>Full color offset printing is widely used these days. A wide range of surfaces can be printed by it due to the rubber blanket that conforms well to the texture of the surface to be printed. This printing process also provides two alternatives to choose from.<br />
<br />
Compared to other methods, offset has several benefits. It provides high image quality while at the same time cutting down on cost. The amount of ink being applied can also be adjusted, thus offering more control. The plates being utilized have a longer life compared to direct lithography, since the plate does not have any contact with the surface to be printed.<br />
<br />
Sheet and Web fed are the primary ways of processing. The first entails image production through single sheets fed one by one by a suction bar. This is mostly for commercial papers.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, web feeding answers the need for vast amounts of quantity in a very short period of time. This is used for prints amounting to more than five thousand. Web is the term for the rolls. That is where the term for this type of feeding comes from. There are also different methods for how the ink dries in this method. These are called cold and heat set.<br />
<br />
Coldset is generally for materials of substandard quality, or those materials which do not demand high quality. The ink is absorbed by another paper located underneath. Heatset, on the other hand involves drying via evaporation with a dryer immediately above the material just after being printed.<br />
<br />
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Quality of materials are affected by the presence of dust and powder with sheet feed. However, the quality of material used is tougher. If a job needs to be done quickly, the web feed method is the fastest.<br />
<br />
Given these different modes of production in full color offset printing, the quality and speed should be considered. These two have to be weighed according to the job that needs to be done.<br />
