Printing techniques

Printing techniques are methods used to transfer images or text onto surfaces, primarily paper. Common techniques include: 1. **Offset Printing**: Ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to paper. It’s ideal for high-quality, large print runs. 2. **Screen Printing**: Ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto the material. It’s popular for shirts and posters. 3. **Digital Printing**: Directly prints from digital files using inkjet or laser printers, allowing for quick changes and smaller runs. 4. **Letterpress**: An old technique where raised type is pressed onto paper, creating a tactile feel. Each method has unique advantages based on the project’s needs.
