Initially, printing was done by hand-painting the films during the 1930’s. Later during the early 1980’s computers were used to create camera ready film. After offset printing was technique was discovered during the early 20th century, production units started printing using offset printers.
Offset printing is an indirect printing process, where the ink is not directly applied from the printing plate to the paper instead indirectly through a roller. Before printing four plates are prepared for each CMYK ink, plates are made of aluminum and are millimeter thick. The area which is not to be printed contain thin layer of water. Since ink is oily in nature, the area to be printed attracts the ink whereas the non-printing area repels the ink due to presence of water.
In a sheet-fed offset printing machine the

For example, film on film, and film on foil laminations would go through the process of dry bonding. The adhesive used to combine the two substrates together will be applied to either one of the substrates, and then dried in an oven prior to being combined with the second substrate. The two substrates are combined after the adhesive is dried for maximum efficiency of the dry bond lamination process. Dry lamination is also known as thermal or dry lamination.
There are different types of lamination:-
Matt lamination – Matt lamination is a flat finish on the printed papers, that gives it that “matt” effect. It’s very durable and stops cracking and marking, thus giving a longer lifespan to the print.
Gloss lamination - This is a glossy finish to the print, and often makes the print look more eye catchy and stands out.
Velvet lamination – It adds a new dynamic to the finished product with its velvet touch texture. This really is a classy high end finish. This finish is slightly more expensive than the matt
There first invention produced was the Technicolor System 1 Additive Color, which I’m sorry to say flopped massively due to the unfortunate screening of The Gulf Between in 1917 which only a few frames remain of this film today. This was the first public premier of the technology and was disastrous. The film was captured through two separate filters red and green and the light through those two filters was captured on a single reel of film, when processed this negative had red and green information captured on a black and white reel, when this was processed the reel was placed into a projector and then threw red and green filters. To project the image an adjustable prism that had to manually lined up by the projectionist as two separate images formed on the projection screen this did not work as planned as the projectionist failed to line up the images correctly.

The way 3D printing works is by taking virtual designs from a special computer aided design or modeling software and “splits” them into separate cross-sections for the machine to use as a guide. The printer then lays down successive layers of the liquid or powdered material required (metal, plastic, paper, ceramics etc.) and eventually builds the model through these series of cross sections, creating the object desired. This printing layer by layer slowly develops the object.

When a design is produced using the silk screening method, actual screens are used in the process. Putting it very simply, the screen is exposed using an expose unit to make a sort of stencil for the design. Ink is spread over the screen, so when you press down with a squeegee, the ink passes through to the object underneath only in the areas you want. Sadly, only one color per screen can be used so depending on how large the design is and the number of colors wanted in the design, you’ll need multiple screens to complete your design.
The craftsman, needing perfect letters and numbers, buys ready-cut sets of stencils. Manufactured stencils give professional results, without discrepancy or painterly quality. These are perfect for signage and other items that require a professional, non-artsy appearance.

Wood-type printing allowed new typefaces to be created and used for printing cheaper than ever before. Technological advances permitted machine-set typography to be printed on machine-manufactured paper with high-speed steam-powered printing presses. The use of color lithography passed the aesthetic experience of colorful images from the privileged few to the whole of society.
To put it more vividly, the printing process of a 3D printer is like making a melaleuca cake with various materials. And “the materials”, as the inventor of this technology Charles W. Hull once wrote, “include polymers, metals, ceramics, composites, food, probably other things, too”. So, imagine these materials can be melted like cream and stretched as thin as the hairline. The printer uses these lines to draw the outline of the object based on the inputted or scanned blueprint firstly and then overlaps the lines upon the previous frame just like decorating the cake with cream.
PRINTING PRESS AND STANDARDISATION In 1476, William Caxton introduced England to the printing press. This significant introduction to one of the world’s greatest technological innovations, at the time, helped to increase the spread of literacy and knowledge amongst the British people as the mass production of books became cheaper and more commonly available. According to Mastin (2011), the first book ever printed, although Caxton’s own interpretation was ‘The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye’ in 1473. Furthermore, Mastin (2011) states that in the following 150 years after the introduction of printing, up to 20000 books were printed.
Paper in 20th-century civilization, is one of our most important industrial products. Books, magazines, and newspapers are printed on paper. Data from computers are usually printed on paper. Education, government and industry could not operate without printing and writing on paper. Paperboard (used in packaging), and absorbent papers (tissue and towelling) are other widely used paper products.
Much like an inkjet printer, a 3D printer “prints” a set of plans on a computer by using “additive manufacturing.” The additive manufacturing process builds objects layer-by-layer rather than through molding or subtractive techniques (such as machining) (McKinsey Global Institute, 2012). Additive manufacturing is attractive for producing items that are hard to find or when only a few like items are needed because the cost of production remains the same whether someone prints one or many, or if the item is old or new.
The two main ways printers work is either impact or nonimpact. Impact printers have a device that touches the paper and then creates an image while nonimpact does not touch the paper. The type we use most often in our homes is the nonimpact printers; these include the ink-jet and laser printers. The ink-jet printer drops ink from a nozzle onto the paper. The laser printer is a bit more complicated because it uses toner, static electricity, and heat to get the ink where you want it on the paper. This is nice though because it decreases the drying time that may cause ink to smear, especially when you are printing pictures. (Tyson)
Print media is a rather commonly used term referring to the medium that disseminates printed matter. In everyday life we refer to print media as the industry associated with the printing and mostly with the distribution of news through a network of media, such as newspapers and journals. People also refer to print media simply with the term "press;" it's an intermediate communicative channel aiming at reaching a large number of people. Print media example Yellow pages, Newspapers, Business directories, Books, Magazines, posters.
