Offset printing is still to date the most common way for most printed products to be produced. At The Odee Company, we do both digital and offset printing. The diagram below shows the process of offset printing. Primarily, you are offsetting the image from the plate to an image blanket which in turn imprints an impression cylinder. The impression cylinder is what actually imprints the paper or substrate. It works off the idea that water and oil don't mix. A simplified explanation is that the ink and water stay separated so that the image can carry the ink.
At The Odee Company we have a full stable of Heidelberg offset presses. We range from small format presses for shorter runs to full size 40" presses for medium to longer runs. Many of our presses are perfecting presses which have the capability of printing on both sides of the sheet in one pass instead of having to go through the press twice. We have from 2-color presses all the way to 4 & 5-color plus a coating tower for inline aqueous coating. Whatever quantity you need we can help you produce your printed product in the most cost effective manner.
