Planographic printing
Planographic printing means
Lithography and offset lithography are planographic processes that rely on the property that water will not mix with oil. The image is created by applying a tusche
(greasy substance) to a plate or stone. The term lithography comes from litho, for stone, and -graph to draw. Certain parts of the semi-absorbent surface being printed on can be made receptive to ink while others (the blank parts) reject it.
