| Question |
Answer |
| The procedure of transferring a right-reading image (plate cylinder) to an intermediate carrier (blanket cylinder) where it becomes wrong reading, then transferring that image to a receiver (paper) where it again becomes right reading |
Offset printing |
| To print the image in the exact same position on each sheet of paper |
Register |
| The operation of an offset press in controlling the paper after the image is printed |
Delivery |
| Suction created through the sucker tube(s) by a vacuum pump intake |
Vacuum |
| A flat surface on which the sheet of paper is positioned between the feeder and cylinder systems |
Register Board |
| A chemical mixture applied to the nonimage areas of an offset plate to repel ink |
Fountain Solution |
| Dries ink quickly by using extreme heat |
Infrared Drying System |
| The process of printing from a flat surface with the image and nonimage areas separated by ink/water chemistry |
Offset Printing |
| A substance applied to the image areas of an offset plate for transfer to the blanket and then to the paper |
Ink |
| A piece of printing equipment which holds a roll or stack of paper, controls that paper through the process of imprinting an image on its surface by the offset method and delivers the paper to a stack or roll for further processing |
Offset Press |
| Controls the feeding of paper stock either from a roll or as a single sheet from a stack |
Feeder System |
| Controls the positioning of the paper being fed through the press so the image will print in the exact same position on each sheet |
Register Board |
| Controls the paper after the image is printed by stacking to facilitate further processing |
Delivery System |
| A set of three cylinders (or their eqivalent) which control the transfer of the image from the offset plate to the paper being fed through the press |
Cylinder System |
| A reservoir (fountain) of ink and related rollers which control ink distribution to the image areas of the offset plate |
Inking System |
| A reservoir (fountain) of dampening solution and other related rollers which control dampening solution distribution to the non-image areas of the offset plate |
Dampening System |
