What is Offset Book Printing?

Offset printing is a printing technique that transfers an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, which, in turn, transfers the image onto paper or other printing surfaces. The name ‘offset’ comes from the fact that the inked image is first transferred (or offset) onto the rubber blanket before being applied to the printing surface. This process makes offset printing ideal for high-volume printing jobs (starting around 250 copies) with consistent quality results.
