The BEP makes paper money and the US Mint makes coins......I think.
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.
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.

Intaglio: image is etched into the surface, smeared with ink (which sticks in the recessed areas), and (using damp paper) put through a press. The ink is transferred from the recessed areas to the paper. Relief: Pretty much the opposite; the parts you don't want are carved away, ink rolled on, and dry paper pressed onto it. In layman's terms, it's a big stamp.
The traditional printing press systems (Lithography, flexography, gravure etc.) use printing plates that 'press' the ink onto the pages. Digital printing presses operate frequently today as a replacement to the old technology because they don't require the physical printing plates to be designed for each page, so it can all be done digitally - saving time and money.
intaglio is when a design is carved into a surface such that it appears as a depression. cameo is when the required design appears as relief left remaining on the surface as the unrequired material is chipped away. it appears raised or as an embossing on the surface.
Cameo Surface: The surface that you can see. Intaglio Surface: The surface that you cannot see. Example, there is a dish on the table. Upper side of the dish is cameo surface and the bottom side of the dish is intaglio surface.
I am not so familiar with the difference but i know a company who is very knowledgeable and will be glad to answer your question go to http://www.superfineprinting.com/
The US Mint does coins while the Bureau of Engraving and Printing does Bills.
That is not neccearily true. There are some digital presses that use actual ink. The Heidelberg QM, and the HP Indigo. The difference between digital printing and conventional printing is Digital printing is printed with CMYK toners, offset printing uses regular ink, not toners. I found information about this when i was inquiring about printing for my school for the coming year and did lots of research which guided me to http://www.superfineprinting.com/ Good luck on all your printing!

Etching is done with acid, its used to eat away material that is exposed to it and material that is covered is untouched Engraving is actually carving something with tools You could have found this out yourself using something thats available these days, called a SEARCH ENGINE
Offset printing is an indirect image transfer. This is common for putting a picture on cakes. Digital printing uses files and PDF's that are part of a software program. This is comon for printing pictures.
The main difference between a 1st printing and a 2nd printing in comic books is that a 1st printing is the initial run of a comic book issue, while a 2nd printing is a subsequent print run of the same issue due to high demand. The cover of a 2nd printing often indicates that it is a later edition, which can impact its collectibility and value.
Well, water transfer printing can be a bit more pricey and expensive than screen printing by a double of screen printing's price. However, water transfer printing produces more vibrant and lively prints and results.
