Litho Printing

The most modern applications of litho printing now take advantages of photographic processes, with the plate being a photographic negative of the final desired image. The plate is roughened and covered with a photosensitive media, following which it is exposed to UV light. Despite its invention as far back as 1796, litho printing is the most widely used means of printing on mass.

Litho Printing

Lithoprinting, also called lithography is a method of printing that uses a completely smooth surface, traditionally stone or a metal plate. Litho printing was invented in 1796, and it was initially developed as a method of producing theatrical works at low cost.

Litho Printing

Lithography uses simple chemical processes to create an image. For instance, the positive part of an image is a hydrophobic, or "water hating" substance, while the negative image would be hydrophilic or "water loving". Thus, when the plate is introduced to a compatible printing ink and water mixture, the ink will adhere to the positive image and the water will clean the negative image. This allows a flat print plate to be used, enabling much longer and more detailed print runs than the older physical methods of printing (e.g., intaglio printing, Letterpress printing).
