Talk:Offset printing
the offset cylinder is called the blanket cylinder the 3 cylinders cannot be inline, as the impression cylinder has to be offset

When spam-alert will be finished on this article, put fr:Offset (imprimerie). Sebjarod 20:29, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- SPAM -- external links lead to Ink Spot Printing. This advertising seems inappropriate.
Our Offset setup
Water is sprayed in a fine mist onto a clothed rubber roller which then transfers water to the plate
The ink duct is filled with ink and the roller train(used to describe all the rollers that transfer ink from the duct to the plate) carries the ink to the plate.
The plate is (in our case) aluminium, with plastic where the image is. The water adheres to the aluminium and the ink adheres to the plastic.
The image is then transferred to the offset cylinder, we call it the blanket cylinder because it is a metal cylinder with a thin rubber blanket on it. The image is transfered to the blanket then to paper the appropriate way round.
Hope this helps slightly
Citations & Plagiarism
- WHO CARES??
I have just added a tag to the page mentioning that that there are sources that have not been cited. I was just looking at another website, http://www.compassrose.com/publishing/Offset-printing.html, when I noticed the history sections of Wikipedia and this website are almost the excact same. I am not sure if this counts as plagiarism, but it should be changed (if not, at least cited). I hope that this is the only case in this article, but it should be verified. --64.59.144.21 23:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- That website claims it uses it's information from wikipedia. (on the bottom of the website) Dryke 12:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Plagiarim
The paragraph "present day" is literally the same as found on http://businessservices.berkeley.edu/HtmFiles/UCPSOffsetPrint.htm Should it be re-written? Dryke 12:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it should be.--drew1718 07:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC) ...And it has!--drew1718 08:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Cold press offset
Middletown, Orange County, New York mentions the phrase "cold press offset" which I've redirected here. Can anyone explain what that means? -- Beland 21:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- References web printing, cold web process in contrast to heat-set web printing machinery.
- I beleive this a reference to the typesetting. See Linotype_machine for the older hot metal typesetting.198.160.102.41 20:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
url change request and introduction
I seem to be a good resource on this topic and page for people looking to get more information on printing methods and terms and tutorials and articles on how to buy printing. My site is kept completely open source. free of any google adsense or third party type of advertising. because of constant demand for a North American based site, I have recently changed the site url from www.canadaprintquotes.com to www.printquotesdirect.com. It would be my extreme pleasure and appreciation if you could please update this link to http://www.printquotesdirect.com/printing_101.html My purpose for this site is much more then just monetary, The website was initially built as only a request for quotes system, However, I quickly noticed that a lot of the print buyers were uninformed or unfamiliar with the print industry and did not understand all the different terms and processes associated with the printing process. Without having at least a minimal understanding of the different types of paper, color options, presses and other important factors, a print buyer can't ask the right questions when trying to find a printer. I am determined to educate and inform these print buyers and so I have complied more than 200 articles and tutorials written on all the different printing methods, terms and technology. If you would like to discuss this matter in further detail, Please feel free to contact me.
Redirect from Printing Plate
I think that there should be a separate page for 'Printing Plate'. I came to this page after trying to find information on specific types of printing plates. Unfortunately the page that should hold that information doesn't exist because of the redirect. 58.175.41.101 06:47, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
This won't go away, even if you continue to remove my comments and revert my edits
These links have been consistently removed by a number of editors because -- as they've told you before -- the links violate both WP:LINKSPAM and WP:COI. And after having to dig through the site to find info related to this article, I only found three paragraphs with basic info that adds nothing to this article.
