Is a printing process in which an image is photographed through a screen on to a sensitized printing plate that after development is etched.?

The printing process you're describing is known as photogravure. In this technique, an image is transferred onto a sensitized printing plate through a photographic process using a screen. The plate is then developed and chemically etched to create an image that can be used for printing. This method is often utilized for high-quality image reproduction in various print media.


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.
