Best Answer

That there is nothing impacting the paper. For example in an old type writer the keys would strike the page, this is impact. In an impact-less print, the ink is placed on the page either because the ink electrically charged and accelerated through a voltage and lands on the page, or the ink is a ferrofluid (magnetic liquid) and is under a magnetic field that guides the little drops. That's why, when you look through a very old book, the pages were so much thicker than they are now a days in order to resist these strikes, this makes impact-less printing much more economic. Also the resolution is much higher.

What is relief printing and gravure printing?

Relief printing is printing from a block (usually wood) where the image to be printed is raised and the parts that are to be blank are removed or cut away. An example would be an ink pad and stamp. Gravure printing is an expensive and high quality printing that uses direct contact between etched copper plate printing rollers and the paper. It is most often reserved for printing wall coverings and the like.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of offset lithography printing?

Consistent high image quality.Offset printing produces sharp and clean images and type more easily than letterpress printing because the rubber blanket conforms to the texture of the printing surface.Quick and easy production of printing plates.Longer printing plate life than on direct litho presses because there is no direct contact between the plate and the printing surface.Properly developed plates running in conjunction with optimized inks and fountain solution may exceed run lengths of a million impressions.Cost. Offset printing is the cheapest method to produce high quality printing in commercial printing quantities.Disadvantages of offset printing compared to other printing methods include:Slightly inferior image quality compared to rotogravure or photogravure printing.Propensity for anodized aluminum printing plates to become sensitive (due to chemical oxidation) and print in non-image/background areas when developed plates are not cared for properly.Time and cost associated with producing plates and printing press setup. This makes smaller quantity printing jobs impractical. As a result, smaller printing jobs are now moving to digital offset machines.
