Default Types of Printing

When you need to use a commercial printer for a job or personal assignment, it can be difficult to know what to order from the printer. There are so many different types of printing it can be confusing for any consumer to know which printing method is most suited to their particular project. With this article we are going to briefly discuss the most popular types of printing, giving you, the consumer, a bit more understanding of each method.

Often the first important factor is finding and using a printing with a strong reputation in the printing field. This printer should be able to help you or give advice on many of the decisions you might need to make while getting a printing job done. Ask around and do research on the internet if possible, compare services and prices between one printer and another.

Digital printing is a new and extremely effective form of printing. This form of printing eliminates the use of film and plates, and sends a digital file directly from a computer to the press. Digital printing is relatively fast compared to other printing methods, making it a convenient method for meeting deadlines and time restraints.

Offset Lithography the most common printing process today the workhorse! It offsets ink from metal plates to a rubber blanket (cylinder) to the paper. Almost every commercial printer does offset printing.

Engraving think "fine stationery." Produces the sharpest image of all. Image feels indented (run your fingers over the back side of the sheet). Most law firms still use engraving.

Thermography raised printing, less expensive than engraving. Uses special powder that’s adhered to any color ink. Mainly used for stationery products.

Reprographics general term covering copying and duplicating. Think in-house copying departments and copy or quick-printing shops. They take your originals and make duplicates of them.

Digital Printing the newest printing process and the least understood! Includes all processes that use digital imaging to create printed pieces. Doesn’t use film. (Think desktop to the digital press.) For short-run, fast-turnaround jobs. Limitations include color, paper choices, and quality. But not for long -- the technology is exploding!

Letterpress the original process founded by Gutenberg in 1440. "Relief" printing (like rubber stamps, images on the plate are higher than the surface). Fine letterpress is being done by fewer and fewer printers.

Screen a.k.a. silk-screening. Ink is forced through a screen following a stencil pattern. Used for ring binders, t shirts, bumper stickers, billboards.

Bonus types of printing

Flexography special type of printing for packaging products. The plates used are flexible. Products include cardboard boxes, grocery bags, gift wrap, and can and bottle labels.


Gravure prints directly from cylinder to paper. Used when printing for millions of impressions think magazines, newspapers, and direct mail catalogs.
