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.

Gravure printing can be cost-effective for large print runs due to its high-speed production and ability to produce consistent, high-quality images. The initial setup costs, including plate creation and equipment, are relatively high, making it less economical for short runs. However, as the volume increases, the cost per unit decreases significantly, often making it a preferred choice for packaging and publications where quantity justifies the initial investment. Overall, gravure printing is most cost-effective for projects requiring large quantities and high-quality results.
Some disadvantages of screen printing include its relatively high setup costs, especially for small production runs, as each color requires a separate screen. It can also be less efficient for intricate designs or gradients, as it typically works best with solid colors. Additionally, the process can be time-consuming, particularly for larger orders, and the inks used may not be as environmentally friendly compared to other printing methods. Lastly, achieving consistent quality across prints can be challenging without careful monitoring.
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.
Gravure printing requires a printing press.

Gravure printing offers high-quality, consistent results with sharp detail and vibrant colors. It is well-suited for long print runs and can handle a wide range of substrates, including flexible packaging materials. Additionally, gravure printing allows for special effects such as metallic inks and embossing.

Different names of printing include lithography, gravure, flexography, screen printing, and digital printing. Each technique utilizes distinct methods and materials, catering to various applications such as commercial, artistic, and industrial printing. Additionally, offset printing and letterpress are traditional methods still used today for specific purposes.
