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

Citations & Plagerism

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 plagerism, but it should be changed (if not, at least cited).
