This shows how is the process of the printing the design of the plates. Offset printing is a widely used commercial printing technique known for its high-quality, cost-effective mass production of printed materials. This method relies on an offset lithography press and specially prepared metal printing plates to transfer designs onto paper, cardboard, metal sheets, or other surfaces. The process is ideal for large print runs due to its efficiency and consistency. 1. Plate Preparation (Design Etc

Couldn't resist showing this gorgeous offset press! A fun few days working at Kingston School of Art ! I went down to London to show the technicians the fundamentals of plate lithography, which they will soon be rolling out to their students. They have etching presses and a an offset litho press they will us to print the plates. Thank you to the wonderful technicians for sharing their workshops for a few days! #printmakingprocess #thelemonadepress @peopleofprint @ukprintmakers | The Lemonade Pre

🪬 Psychedelic rock posters of the 1960s were printed using fast, affordable photo-offset lithography.

Victor Moscoso discovered that red and blue lights near one of his posters created the illusion of motion—an accidental discovery that led him to purposefully de
