For conventional printing, the usual printing method is flatbed offset printing. So the following KS printing house to say the printing method refers to the flatbed offset printing.

Printing can be divided into monochrome printing and multicolor printing; in a printing process, only one ink color on the substrate is called monochrome printing (including black and spot colors); in a printing process, the printing of two or more ink colors on the substrate is called multicolor printing.

In terms of Chinese printing enterprises' current situation, single-color and two-color printing are generally completed using domestic printing presses, four-color, and four-color printing. Individual requirements of the higher two-color printing are typically constructed using imported printing presses, so in terms of cost, the lowest price of single-color printing, and then from low to tall order are spot color, two-color, four-color, and four-color printing.

Printing using single-color, two-color, four-color or more than four-color which printing method can be decided by the following characteristics of various printing methods.

A. Single-color printing

1. black and white monochrome: usually printed on the substrate only black printing method, known as black and white printing. There are drawings usually white color, for easy reading, so the majority of printed materials in black and white printing. Black and white printing also have good value and low cost, so currently the most common printing method in the printing industry. Black and white printing is suitable for text and line drawings of mainly printed materials.

2. spot-color printing: usually printed on the substrate only one color other than the black printing method, known as spot-color printing. Such as printing blue, red, green, or a particular single color. In recent years, to save costs and make books and magazines look beautiful, colorful, spot-color printing is also widely used. The cost of spot-color printing is relatively high compared to black and white printing.

B. Two-color printing

The characteristics of two-color printing.
①. Color effect and relatively low cost
②. The paper requirements are not very high; the available choice of offset paper is light paper.
③. Two-color printing is suitable for lively layout, visual contrast notable available science books, primary and secondary school textbooks box simple promotional printing.

C. Four-color and four-color printing

The characteristics of four-color printing:
1. can well reproduce the artistic effect of the work.
2. four-color printing on the typesetting, soft film, printing plates, cardboard, ink, equipment, operators, etc., are more demanding.
3. it is also more costly.

Its suitable range is suitable for the text with many color pictures-based medium and high-grade printed materials, For example, brochure printing, picture book printing, advertising, and cover printing, etc.

It should be said that the selected print using a few colors printing, the choice of typesetting, the choice of paper laid the foundation.

Besides, offset printing according to the machinery's degree is divided into sheet printing and rotary printing; paper savings characterize sheet printing. Still, the speed is relatively slow rotary printing, rotary printing is characterized by more significant paper loss than sheet printing, but the printing speed and printing are completed along with the folding work are also conducted at the same time, rotary printing is generally suitable for the number of prints in more than 10,000, publishing time requirements for shorter shots. In recent years, the introduction of a large number of eight-color large-format rotary printing presses has enriched the printing market for periodicals, magazines, and textbooks and brought a considerable impact on the price and duration of flat four-color offset presses.
