自中国发明木刻活字印刷技术至今，印刷方式日新月异，包罗万象。当今最常用的工业印刷方法有：
Since the invention of woodcut movable type printing technology in China, the printing methods are changing with each passing day. The most commonly used industrial printing methods are:
胶印
Offset printing
胶印在广东香港一带也称柯式印刷，是平版印刷的一种，是目前的主要印刷方法。胶印能以高精度清晰地还原原稿的色彩、反差及层次，是目前最普遍的纸张印刷方法。适用于海报、简介、说明书、报纸、包装、书籍、杂志、月历及其他有关彩色印刷品。
Offset printing, also known as offset printing in Guangdong and Hong Kong, is a kind of offset printing and the main printing method at present. Offset printing, which can restore the color, contrast and level of the original with high precision, is the most common paper printing method at present. It is suitable for posters, brochures, newspapers, packaging, books, magazines, calendars and other related color printed materials.
柔性版印刷
Flexographic printing
柔性版印刷，凸版印刷技术的一种，又称苯胺印刷。用橡皮及软性树脂作印版，用水溶性色料印刷。最初用的色料是苯胺型染料，故过去称苯胺印刷。常适用于印制塑料袋、标签及瓦楞纸。印刷网点、线条的精细度也逐渐接近胶印。
Flexographic printing, a kind of relief printing technology, is also called aniline printing. Rubber and soft resin are used as printing plate and water-soluble pigment is used for printing. The pigment used at first was aniline type dye, so it was called aniline printing in the past. It is often used for printing plastic bags, labels and corrugated paper. Printing dot, line fineness is also gradually close to offset printing.
丝网印刷
screen printing
丝网印刷作为一种利用范畴很广的印刷,按照承印质料的分歧可以分为:织物印刷,塑料印刷,金属印刷,陶瓷印刷,玻璃印刷,电子产物印刷,彩票丝印,电饰告白板丝印,金属告白板丝印,不锈钢成品丝印,光反射体丝印,丝网转印电化铝,丝印版画和漆器丝印等等.
Screen printing, as a kind of widely used printing, can be divided into fabric printing, plastic printing, metal printing, ceramic printing, glass printing, electronic products printing, lottery screen printing, electrical advertising board screen printing, metal billboard screen printing, stainless steel product printing, optical reflection screen printing, screen printing of electrified aluminum, silk screen printing and lacquerware screen printing, etc
孔版印刷技术之一，印刷油墨特别浓厚，最宜制作特殊效果的印件。数量不大而墨色需要浓度的尤为适宜。又可以在立体面上施印，如方形盒、箱、圆形瓶、罐等。除纸张外也可以印布、塑胶面料、夹板、胶片、金属片、玻璃等。常见新产品有横幅、锦旗、T恤、瓦棱纸箱、汽水瓶及电路板等。丝网印刷的灵活性特点是其他印刷方法所不能比拟。
One of the hole printing technology, printing ink is very thick, it is most suitable to make special effect prints. The quantity is not big, but the ink color needs the concentration is particularly suitable. It can also be printed on three-dimensional surface, such as square box, box, round bottle, can, etc. In addition to paper, it can also print cloth, plastic fabrics, plywood, film, metal sheet, glass, etc. Common new products include banners, banners, T-Shirts, tile edge cartons, water bottles and circuit boards. The flexibility of screen printing is incomparable to other printing methods.
凹版印刷
gravure
适合印制高品质及价值昂贵的印刷品，不论是彩色或是黑白图片，凹版印刷效果都能与摄影照片相媲美。由于制版费昂贵，印量必须大，故也是在普遍方法中较少采用的一种。适用于印制有价证券、股票、礼券、商业性信誉之凭证或文具等。
It is suitable for printing high-quality and expensive printing materials. Whether it is color or black and white pictures, the intaglio printing effect is comparable to that of photographic photos. Due to the high cost of plate making, the printing capacity must be large, so it is also one of the less commonly used methods. It is suitable for printing securities, stocks, gift certificates, certificates of commercial reputation or stationery.
科技发展迅速，今天我们可通过计算机采用某些上述的印刷方法直接在媒体上输出。而静电成象及激光技术的成熟使小批量高素质要求的"按需印刷"可以实现。
With the rapid development of science and technology, we can use some of the above printing methods to output directly on the media. With the development of electrostatic imaging and laser technology, "on-demand printing" with high quality in small batch can be realized.
