   Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water , the offset technique employs a flat ( planographic ) image carrier.

3. Print on demand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Print_on_demand

   Print on demand with digital technology is a way to print items for a fixed cost per copy, regardless of the size of the order.

It also allows for on-demand printing, short turnaround time, and even a modification of the image (variable data) used for each impression. [2]

7. Lithography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithography

   [8] [9] Offset printing or "offset lithography" is an elaboration of lithography in which the ink is transferred from the plate to the paper indirectly by means of a rubber plate or cylinder, rather than by direct contact. This technique keeps the paper dry and allows fully automated high-speed operation.
