in six steps. In the first stage of lithography, a roller of rotated

paper

passes through dampening rollers (a mixture of water and additives), which apply a fountain solution to the non-

image

areas of the plates. Rollers

then

distribute ink onto the plate so that it adheres to the

image

area.

Next,

we feed a sheet of

paper

into the press, position it between the blanket cylinder and impression cylinder, squeeze out the water, and transfer the inked

onto the

paper

. After printing, dry the ink with cold air and place it on the delivery pile.
