There are several types of printing presses, each designed for specific printing needs. The most common types include offset printing, which uses plates to transfer ink onto paper, and digital printing, which directly prints from a digital file. Flexographic printing is often used for packaging, while gravure printing is ideal for high-volume projects like magazines. Another type is the letterpress, which uses movable type and is popular for artisanal printing. Screen printing is widely used for textiles and promotional items. Each printing press type has its advantages, making them suitable for different applications and industries.
