There are 6 main types of printing processes: digital printing, flexography, letterpress printing, offset printing, rotogravure, and screen printing. Each uses different techniques such as raised plates, etched cylinders, or woven mesh to transfer ink in various applications like packaging, books, fabrics, and more. Digital printing refers to printing directly from a digital image source onto various media like photos. Flexography uses flexible plates to transfer images onto absorbent or non-absorbent materials like packaging. Letterpress is the oldest method using raised surfaces to imprint an image in reverse.

Types of printing? Not one, not two, there are 6 types of printing process: • Digital Printing • Flexography • Letterpress Printing • Offset Printing • Rotogravure • Screen Printing
Digital Printing Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or highvolume laser or inkjet printers.
Application • Desktop publishing • Fine art • Print on Demand • Advertising • Photos

Flexography Flexible printing plates made of rubber or plastic. The inked plates with a slightly raised image are rotated on a cylinder which transfers the image to the substrate. Flexography uses fast-drying inks, is a high-speed print process, can print on many types of absorbent and non-absorbent materials, and can print continuous patterns (such as for gift wrap and wallpaper).
Application Print on• Plastic • Foil • Brown paper • Any material used for packaging

Letterpress Printing Letterpress is the oldest form of printing. In this method, a surface with raised letters is inked and pressed to the surface of the printing substrate to reproduce an image in reverse. Typically, metal type has been used but other possibilities include carved wood or stone blocks.
Application • Wedding invitations • Business cards • Deboss effect

Offset Printing Most common commercial printing technology in which the image to be printed is photographically transferred to a metal or plastic printing plate which is wetted by water. The image portion of the plate repels water but picks up oil-based ink from a roller, and the non-image areas retain water but repel the ink. The inked image is then transferred first to a sheet of rubber or plastic which transfers it to the paper. The objective of this double transfer it to avoid the printing plate's contact with paper (and thus reduce its wear) which has a rougher surface than the blanket.
Application • Books • Magazines • Newspaper

Rotograuve An intaglio printing process in which letters and pictures are transferred from an etched copper cylinder to a web of paper, plastic, or similar material in a rotary press.
Application • Magazines (Mostly) • Newspaper

Screen Printing Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil to receive a desired image. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A fill blade or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink into the mesh openings for transfer by capillary action during the squeegee stroke. Basically, it is the process of using a stencil to apply ink onto a substrate, whether it be t-shirts, posters, stickers, vinyl, wood, or other material.
