What kinds of prints are there? What is the definition of printing? Printing technology is divided into those kinds?

1. The method of reproducing images (multiple times) on a medium (paper, plastic, various objects, etc.) is called printing

2. Printing techniques include: topography, mimeograph, silkscreen, letterpress (lead), lithography (offset), pad printing, and intaglio printing

3. Topography (e.g., printing down an inscription from a stone tablet)

4. Mimeograph (waxed-paper lithography)

5. Printing)

5, silkscreen (screen printing)

6, letterpress (traditional lead printing, also known as movable type printing, because of the toxicity, has been phased out)

7, lithography (now the mainstream means of printing, is the use of the principle of incompatibility of water and oil design of the lithographic printing technology, the graphic portion of the plate and the non-graphic portion of the plate is almost no difference in height, only that the plate on the graphic portion of the lipophilic and lipophilic. (The graphic part of the pro-oil is not hydrophilic, non-graphic part of the hydrophilic is not oleophilic)

8, intaglio printing (open steel plate cylinder carved out of deeper graphic pits, printing, with a squeegee will be the remnants of the ink hanging down, but hanging off the graphic pits in the ink, and so the graphic pits in the ink will be transferring to the media, so that prints are very full, with a very strong three-dimensional sense)

9, since the Flatbed printing, there are computer typesetting printing

10, pad printing (is an extension of the flatbed printing technology, pad printing can be printed to such as the surface of the machine parts, such as printed graphics on the camera housing)

11, the more common copying (photocopying machine) can also be considered a method of printing

12, more cutting-edge technology and: holographic Laser printing

I hope the above can help you
