Iphepha le-Offset lisetyenziselwa ukuprinta umgangatho ophezulu woshicilelo lombala kwi-lithographic (offset) yoshicilelo okanye abanye oomatshini bokushicilela, kwaye ilungele ukuprinta umbala omnye okanye imibala emininzi yencwadi, izicatshulwa, ukufakwa, imifanekiso, iimephu, iipowusta, umbala. iimpawu zokuthengisa, kunye nephepha lokupakisha elahlukeneyo.I-pulp yekhemikhali evela kumthi we-coniferous owenziwe nge-bleached kunye nenani elifanelekileyo le-bamboo pulp zizona zithako eziphambili kwiphepha le-offset.Ukuzaliswa okunzima kunye nokulinganisa, kunye nokulinganisa umphezulu kunye ne-calendering, kuyafuneka xa kusetyenzwa iphepha le-offset.Emva kokudalwa, iincwadi kunye neemagazini zineempawu ezahlukileyo kwaye zithe tyaba kwaye kunzima ukuzitshintsha.
