Printers tasks
Various types of printers are available for sale. Currently, only printers without scanners and additional accessories are less and less sold. However, this kind of printing devices are most often bought by private individuals who want to print only basic documents, applications or home-made essays written in secondary schools. However, printers can also successfully perform much more complex functions and tasks. With a modern printing device, you can print entire books, color documents and specialized files that require an individual approach. It can be seen that it is worth having a small printer at home and using photocopying services.
Printing at printing plants and printing plants
Paints, inks, paper, toners, foils and other consumables - these are things that can not be missing from printing plants. They are ordered wholesale and also consumed in bulk. For each order, the production costs are optimized, and the appropriate technique and type of printing is selected.
Graphic designers, DTP operators and printers deal with this. They are responsible for the quality of the printout and as soon as something is wrong they are the first to be targeted by the dissatisfied boss. Their work is quite hard and I have to admit that you have to really have a fuss to do it. Work after hours, maximum focus and responsibility - definitely not work for everyone.
Water and waterless - offset printing
Offset printing is the most popular type of printing in today's printing industry. It is true that it has many varieties and uses different techniques and materials (paint, paper). The main division is cold printing, where the paint is fixed by soaking into paper. While the 'hot' offset where the printed paper web passes through the drying tunnel.
The classic offset (water) is associated with the use of water rollers and hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, however, this method is already abandoned due to the difficulty in obtaining a good balance of water and oil paint.
The successor of this method is anhydrous offset printing where silicone molds are used instead of water.
