A Little About Printing Techniques
A printing process or system corresponds to a mechanical way of reproducing a given graphic representation on a physical medium, repeatedly and continuously. Printing systems are varied and are distinguished by direct and indirect processes, as well as by the molds of their respective matrices. Direct and indirect processes refer to how the matrix contacts the substrate – whether directly or through an intermediate element. The molds of the matrices refer to the technique by which they are formed – whether by high relief (typography and flexography), low relief (rotogravure and pad printing), flat (lithography, offset and collotype) or permeographic (screen printing).
