Modern web offset press can be hundreds of feet long and consist of many "units," each of which is a complete press. For a single page printed in full color, four plates are required--one each for yellow, red, blue and black ink. Each of those may have its own blanket, depending on the design of the press. While several pages can be printed side by side, if the backs of the pages are also printed, another set of plates and blankets is needed. The more pages, the more units. Finally, at the end of the printing section, a modern press has sections that can fold, cut and bind the finished product, so that a roll of paper goes in one end and a complete magazine or newspaper comes out the other.

What is screen print ?
A screen is made of synthetic screen mesh stretched over a wood or metal frame. The printer coats the frame with a light-sensitive emulsion. When that's dry, the printer places the film-positive face down on the screen. A piece of glass is placed flush against the film positive. With light from an exposure lamp and a spray of warm water, an image appears on the screen. Once the screen is dry, it is clamped into a screen-printing press. The printer uses a squeegee to wipe ink through the screen mesh and onto the T-shirt.

The History of Printing press in Nepal
The history of printing in Nepal begins with the late prime minister Jung Bahadur Rana’s visit to the United kingdoms in 1850. He brought along with him a printing press on his way back home. Staying idle for several months, the printing press was then used mostly for printing official documents. It was then a must to obtain a prior government approval to get anything printed besides the official documents. At present according to ministry of communication records, there are total of over 800 printing press in the country of which only a handful are modern.
Quality printing work, particularly in colour printing is limited and as a result a large volume of printing work is done abroad. Although materials could be obtained, the skill required for quality printing work is scarce. There are no technical schools offering courses on printing technologies in the country.

The Uncent History of Printing press in the world
- The history of printing started around 3000 BC with the duplication of images.
- The use of round "cylinder seals" for rolling an impress onto clay tablets goes back to early Mesopotamian civilization before 3000 BC, where they are the most common works of art to survive, and feature complex and beautiful images.
- In both China and Egypt, the use of small stamps for seals preceded the use of larger blocks.
In Egypt, Europe and India, the printing of cloth certainly preceded the printing of paper or papyrus; this was probably also the case in China.
- The process is essentially the same - in Europe special presentation impressions of prints were often printed on silk until at least the seventeenth century.
