It is the main printing method with high precision clearly, restoring original colour contrast and levels. Offset printing can be used by the most common paper printing, introduction, manual paper books, magazines, calendar and other related color print packing.

　　Flexography is a type of letterpress printing technology, used to be called aniline printing that is using rubber and soft resin as printing plate, water soluble or alcohol - soluble ink printing. The initial color is aniline dye, so it is known as aniline printing. It is often suitable for printing plastic bag labels and the fine degree of corrugated printing dot line is close to offset printing. Flexographic printing is mainly divided into unit type flexographic printing and satellite flexographic printing. In the past, the main domestic application type is flexographic printing, but now Satellite flexographic printing is more and more widely used. The main benefit of satellite flexographic printing is the ability to accurately control the tension of the substrate.

　　Silk screen printing as a kind of use category is very broadly used, in accordance with the divisions of the material can be divided into: printing fabric printing, plastic printing, metal printing, printing of pottery and porcelain, glass printing, printing, electronic products lottery printing, electricity ACTS the role of whiteboard screen printing, metal tell white silk screen, stainless steel screen printing products, optical reflector screen printing, silk screen printing electrochemical aluminum, silk-screen prints and lacquer screen printing and so on.
