Professor Eli Neugeboren
PRINTING:
Types of Printing
- Relief/Woodcut – ink goes on a raised surface, image is reversed
- Etching/Intaglio – ink goes in etched grooves, is wiped off surface, image is reversed
- Lithography – ink goes on flat chemically treated surface, wiped off, image is reversed
- Screenprint/Serigraphy – ink is pushed through porous screen, image is NOT reversed
Industrial Printing:
- Offset Lithography
- Standard for printing four color (CMYK) using digitally prepared plates.
- Can print using a roll (WEB) or individual sheets (Sheetfed)
- Extremely fast and cheap in large quantities
- Can print with more than four colors – metallic, pantone, etc. inks
- Digital Printing
- Prints using 4-color (CMYK) process with NO plates
- Cheaper for small-runs because lack of setup charges/no plates needed
- Can simulate Pantone, Metallics, etc.
- Both processes use halftones to cut down on the amount of ink used – this is to cut cost and increase quality
- Letterpress – a type of relief printing that has seen a comeback because of it’s artisanal qualities and physical aesthetic appeal
