Cutouts

Offset printing is a widely used printing technique that involves transferring an inked image from a printing plate to a rubber blanket before applying it to the printing surface. In the context of offset printing, "cutouts" typically refer to areas where certain parts of the design or content are intentionally removed or left blank. These cutouts can serve various purposes in the printing process, adding visual interest or creating unique effects.

When incorporating cutouts into offset printing for unique content, designers often focus on creating distinct visual elements. For instance, a 10-line paragraph may be strategically positioned within a larger design, and certain words or phrases might be emphasized through cutouts. This technique allows for a dynamic interplay between positive and negative space, contributing to the overall aesthetics of the printed material.
