offset paper
A printing paper designed for use in offset
lithography. The offset printing process is based
on the antipathy of grease (ink) for water,
consequently offset paper must be free from excess
water soluble chemicals and particularly surface
active agents. The paper, which may be coated or
uncoated, is produced in basis weights of 50 to
150 pounds (25 X 38�). Uncoated offset
paper may be used for periodicals, brochures,
etc., and for single or multi-color work. (52 , 58 , 182 )
