Offset Printing is a commonly used printing technique where the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanke, 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 on which the image to be printed obatains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a water-based film (called "fountain solution"), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.

Printing Business : Employee Skill, Prospect of Business

In this section we have a huge number of product from printing business. In other definition more product = more profit. But, in printing business skill is number one. It's no matter are you graduate from college, or you never get school as long as you life. That's not important, except you have a job at marketing division. Henmph. I think, if you never graduate from college you never get that job.
Skill in Printing Business.
Why skill is number one? Because at a printing company, you use machine or other handy skill to print at product. It's mean you never learn that in a formal school. You will get that skill from training at printing company or you get printing course before you send application letter to printing company. That's more benefit for company if you had a course before you become an employee of their company.
Prospect of Business.
Business, no matter what kind of business you learning, is all about profit. No profit mean no business. But, in printing business is more prospect for you because the little competitor in this business with large amount of printing requirement.
As a sample of prospect in printing business. Now, you are an employee of an office. Look around, see what you use when your work, you have an id card for employee, when you write a letter, there is a letter head with company name, and there is a letter head of company name in the envelope. When you meet prospect client, you give him a business card.
Hei, see that, id card, letter head mail, envelope and business card is a product from printing company.
It's just a little example. If you see more widely, you see more product from printing company.
More product is more work, and more profit you will get in this printing business.
So, I think printing business is have a bright future.
That's a reason why I am really want to build my own printing company.
