Printing Plates: The Heart of the Printing Process

Printing plates are the heart of traditional offset printing and play a crucial role in the entire printing process. They carry the image or text to be reproduced and transfer it precisely onto the paper. Their role is essential for achieving the high quality and efficiency that offset printing is known for.

In offset printing, plates serve as a link between the design and the final printed paper. Each plate is first exposed using a photochemical process that transfers the print image onto the plate surface. Modern technologies often use computer-to-plate (CTP) systems, where digital print data is directly exposed onto the plate. The plates are made of aluminium, chosen for its durability and stability.
