2. Offset characteristics
catalogs - publications - packaging - labels (long run - high quality products)
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate
Design - order entry - preflight - digital composition - proofing - imposition - proofing - platemaking - printing - binding/finishing - distribute/deliver
aka Offset

3. Gravure Cylinder Imaging
strictly "digital" process - info controls "vibrating diamond stylus to "peck" out cells from copper plating
heavy - copper-plated steel cylinder comprises "image cylinder -" image composed of tiny recessed ink wells (cells) - doctor blade
anything that happens to print job after it's printed
never requires film - image printed directly from digital info - capable of "variable printing -" economical for short runs

4. Flexo principle
analog process (requires film positive for screen exposure). digital screen exposure units (no film) are developed
commercial & quick printers - specialty printers - publication printers - packaging - in-plant printers - trade shops - allied industries
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
