    History of

    PRESS & PRINTING PROCESS

    NAME: RABIUL ISLAM EMON


    ID : 152031029
    MODULE: GRD 2201
    Origins in CHINA
     A Chinese eunuch court official named
    Ts’ai Lun (or Cai Lun) is credited with
    inventing paper in the second century
    AD
    FIFTEENTH CENTURY AD
     Woodcut is a relief printing
    technique in which text and
    images are carved into the
    surface of a block of wood.
    SIXTEENTH CENTURY AD
     In 1507 Lucas Cranach invents
    the chiaroscuro woodcut, a
    technique in which drawings are
    reproduced using two or more
    blocks printed in different colors.
    TWENTIETH CENTURY

     In 1907 the Englishman Samuel


    Simon is awarded a patent for the
    process of using silk fabric as a
    printing screen. Screen
    printing quickly becomes popular
    for producing expensive wallpaper
    and printing on fabrics such as linen
    and silk.
    TWENTIETH CENTURY

     In 1938 Xerography, a dry
    photocopying technique is
    invented by Chester Carlson. The
    first commercial xerographic
    copier is introduced in 1949 but it
    is the 1959 Xerox 914 plain
    paper copier that is the
    breakthrough.
    TWENTIETH CENTURY

     Desktop publishing takes off in 1985.


    The combination of the Apple
    Macintosh computer, printers and
    imagesetters powered by Adobe
    PostScript and the layout application
    Aldus PageMaker makes publishing
    more affordable.
     In 1992 Australia is the first country
    to use polymer banknotes for general
    circulation.
    TWENTY FIRST CENTURIES

     Bigger changes happen in digital


    printing with machines that evolve
    as fast as the companies that
    produce them. Take
    the NexPress for example. It is
    initially a joint development from
    Heidelberg and Kodak, later taken
    over completely by Kodak.
    TWENTY FIRST CENTURIES

     One area of the market that


    evolves quickly is that of large
    format inkjet presses for the sign
    & display market. Inkjet
    technology also starts making
    inroads in the packaging
    industry.
    TYPES OF PRINTING PROCESS
    Offset Printing

     Offset printing was first


    invented in 1875 by Robert
    Barclay.
     Offset printing is where the
    inked image is transferred from
    a plate to a rubber blanket; from
    here it is then transferred on to
    the printing surface.
    Lithography

     Lithography was first introduced in


    1796 by a German author and actor
    Alois Senefelder as a method to
    publish theatrical works cheaply.
     The process starts usually with an
    image drawn with oil, fat or wax
    upon a smooth lithographic
    limestone plate.
    DIGITAL PRINTING

     With two corporations in


    control of the industry (Inkjet
    and Xerography), Digital
    printing was first introduced
    in 1991.
    Gravure Printing

     Gravure printing,
    photomechanical intaglio proc
    ess in which the image to be
    printed consists of depressions
    or recesses on the surface of
    the printing plate. The process
    is the reverse of relief printing,
    in which the image is raised
    from the surface of the plate.
    SCREEN PRINTING

     Screen printing is the process of


    transferring a stenciled design
    onto a flat surface using a mesh
    screen, ink and a squeegee.
    Fabric and paper are the most
    commonly screen-printed
    surfaces.
    Flexography
     Flexography, form of rotary printing in which ink is applied to various surfaces by means of
    flexible rubber (or other elastomeric) printing plates.
