Dry Offset

Dry offset is the printing process normally associated with the decoration of cylindrical objects. Cups, tubes, pails, aerosols, aluminum cans, and buckets are all decorated primarily with this process. Unlike any other print process, dry offset places multiple inks, wet on wet, on a common blanket and that image is then transferred to the substrate to be decorated.

The “wet on wet” ink transfer presents several printing problems that must be properly addressed in pre-press for a job to look and run great.
