The document describes several printing processes: screen printing, gravure printing, photocopying, offset lithography, and flexography. Screen printing uses a screen and blade to push ink through a stencil onto paper. Gravure involves filling engraved cylinders with ink which is pressed onto paper. Photocopying uses light and toner to transfer an image onto paper. Offset lithography uses dampened aluminum plates to transfer ink images onto blanket cylinders and then paper. Flexography uses flexible plates to press ink in relief onto paper. The document provides details of each process and their common uses.
