JSB Print Solutions started supplying continuous business forms, sprocket driven impact printing by dot matrix printers due to the advancement of computer technology, where previous NCR (no carbon required) paper, hand written documentation was the means of communicating business to business.

Litho Printing

An image, logo and text is either exposure of a light source with a film on top of the printing plate or by laser which creates a negative of what is being printed, chemically treated this provides the printing plate for each colour required. CMYK requires 4 plates, a 2 colour litho printed job will require 2 printing plates. The printing plates are mounted onto rollers within the printing press, sometimes called “tower or print stations” these contain the pantone colour required for that printing plate. A “blanket” squeezes excess water and the “blanket” picks up the ink and transfers that ink to the media which it is printing too.
