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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)


[edit] 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)

Thanks for your comment. I was looking for an explanation of the word "plate" when it is used to identify photographs in books. For example, this photograph is identified as "Plate IX". This article doesn't really explain that meaning, yet Offset Printing plates and Printing plate redirect here. --Jtir (talk) 12:47, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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.

If you would like to discuss why your links should be readded to this article, please add your comments here rather than reverting my edits without comment. It only tends to reinforce the reasons for continued removals. Thanks. Flowanda | Talk 19:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Please discuss instead. Flowanda | Talk 01:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] This page is void of any up to date information and the moderator needs to be relieved

This page has been audited by me for a few months now and feel that it is time for the current moderator ( Flowanda ) to be replaced or relieved. I feel this person has been completely irresponsible on how they have handled this page over the last few months and has not shown any regard to this page or the information it holds on it. Just have a look at the external links area and you will see a fine example of what I am talking about. No more then 4 months ago the moderator ( Flowanda ) came on scene with no introduction as to who they are and what actions they will be taking and why. They just come on the page and deleted everyone that they felt was not worthy of being on this page. And yet after I come back to this page a few months later after being kicked off very rudely I see that there are links in the external links area that have no real relevance to this article what so ever. further more, I have been very familiar with this page for close to 4 years now and remember an older version page that had more information and pictures on it. What happened to that page version? I would like to inquire as to what the moderators ( Flowanda ) educational credentials are in regards to the printing industry and what makes them feel that they are the proper authority for this position. I would also like to be able to read more about offset printing from the moderators own words to prove to me and the other people they treated so rudely they they are the proper candidate to hold the position of moderator for this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.51.42.122 (talk) 03:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Who moderator? If there are edit conflicts, we can discuss them here, I'll give my two cents having contributed to this article in the past. No one is or should be considered the moderator of an entry in Wikipedia. DavidH (talk) 21:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lebanese

The section on the Lebanese connection on printing seems inappropriate (and is distractingly formatted) Cngoulimis (talk) 22:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Offset Printing - Picture

This is blantly an advertisement for MAN Roland, and needs to be changed. If Ira Washington Rubel was the first Offset Printing press, why not put up a picture of that?

In fact, there is a good picture on their website located here: http://historywired.si.edu/enlarge.cfm?ID=395&ShowEnlargement=1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.180.196.10 (talk) 13:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
