Offset
Printing
 Matthews
was one of the early Pioneers that designed and manufactured industrial
quality, offset printers. This term offset printing means that
a mark made by ink is transferred from a solid rubber covered roll, commonly
referred to as a blanket roll. Offset printers are three roll systems
that incorporate an ink roll, type wheel, and blanket roll. The type does
not come into contact with the product on an offset system.
 This
system minimizes the amount of type wear while producing a permanent,
consistent quality mark. The Print-A-Mark Offset Printer line, furnished
by Matthews are available in 1", 2" and 3" wide roll units.
Our standard printers are generally friction driven, obtaining their power
from coming into contact with the product causing the product to revolve
the printer.
Motor
drive package options are available for applications that require an assist
to revolve the offset printer. This is sometimes necessary when the product
has a small diameter, or too little friction available at the blanket
roll contact point.

Offset printing
offers the advantage of producing a high quality, low cost mark with minimal
amount of operator training. The results achieved are excellent and require
very little operator involvement.
