16 ◆ Why can’t we use stainless steel for stamping? |

18 ◆ Why does a metal border requires an additional frame when offset printing? |
The CMYK printing is based on 4 colors of reference: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. But the high definition of this process relies on the fact that these 4 colors are printed on a “white” background. In the case where the printing fits exactly to the outside cutting, the white color covers the whole surface. But if a metal boarder must appear, we will need an additional frame to define the surface to print in white, which will be smaller than the outside cutting.
19 ◆ What is the difference between offset printing and silkscreen printing? |
First of all, Silkscreen and Offset printing do not refer to the same color guides. Silkscreen printing is done refering to the Pantone color reference. On the other hand, Offset printing refers to the CMYK color reference.
Secondly, the two processes are used for different purposes; Silkscreen will be used for artworks with non-gradient printing, while Offset printing will be used for artwork with gradient colors printing (example: a photo picture)
Thirdly, the painting colours used for Silkscreen printing is thicker than the one used for Offset printing. Offset printing uses painting colours that are more liquid to get thinner grain and detailed definition.
