Eco-friendly, lithographic printers in Cape Town
Lithographic (Litho) printing is best suited to medium to large sized print runs of any sort of materials from brochures, maps and business cards to posters, office stationary and newsletters.
In addition to quick turn-around times and competitive pricing, we can offer you the option of printing on recycled paper with environmentally friendly inks.
The process
Lithographic printing uses plastic plates that are rendered with a negative photographic image of the artwork/ text in question. The emulsion that the image is rendered in is oil-based. This plate is then affixed to a press where two sets of rollers apply water and ink to the plate. The image emulsion absorbs the ink and repels the water.
The plate is then applied to a rubber-surfaced blanket which then absorbs the ink and squeezes off the water. From the rubber blanket the image is transferred to the paper or material on which the printing is required.
