Most commercial printing for catalogs, magazines, and books is done on web offset printing presses. In web offset printing, text and images are put on plates. After that, they’re transferred to a rubber blanket and then to paper. Web offset printing doesn’t produce any harmful chemicals, and it’s ideal for large printing runs because of its speed, low cost, and flexibility.
Speed
Web offset presses use large rolls of paper that are cut during or after printing. These presses can print tens of thousands of feet of paper per hour, and operators don’t have to keep reloading them with precut sheets. With a web offset press, producing plenty of copies of a catalog or magazine is quick and easy. Technicians can also change plates quickly, which makes daily production much more efficient.
Low Printing Costs
Rolls of paper are usually about half the cost of precut paper, so web offset presses can produce high-quality prints for a low price. They can also accept thinner, less expensive paper for magazines and similar publications. It all depends on the needs of the specific project and the customers’ vision for the end-product.
Flexibility
Web offset printers can also accomplish additional tasks like cutting, folding, and perforating paper. Heatset web presses have drying lamps, much like a large oven, to set ink quickly for a high-quality image.
