Berlin, 09.06.2011 even if the number of bankruptcies due to positive economic development is currently slightly decreasing, there is according to Creditreform no good news especially for the bankruptcies. So still 13,000 business leaders and consumers face in Germany on average each month the German Insolvenzrichter.Die estimated total debt this amounted for example in March 2011 to EUR 2.4 billion (StatBA). More than 113,000 businesses are at risk of insolvency. The resulting risk of subsequent bankruptcies is not even discussed at this stage. The consequences of insolvency in Germany are usually long-term incapacity for entrepreneurs and private individuals (restricted legal capacity and Schufa entries).

Offset Printing A Versatile, Effective Printing

Informed In the age of digital media enjoy the Fatyela Druck GmbH from Cologne tangible books, business cards or brochures of are still very popular. The Cologne Fatyela Druck GmbH describes the emergence of impressive printed in the offset printing process. Offset printing is an indirect process of flat printing. It features a special variety of printable materials while at the same time faster and more cost-efficient production compared to other printing methods. Offset printing in daily newspaper, as well as in the packaging, books and opportunity pressure finds a wide distribution.

Of the newspaper, about the milk bag up to the refined business stationery, offset printing is a good quality and economic choice, with about two-thirds of all printed products are produced. Offset printing has developed from lithography, a classic flat printing invented by Alois Senefelder in 1796. Simultaneous, independent development efforts in the United States and Germany led at the beginning of the 20th century to the emergence of offset paper. Starting point of each printing process is the production of the printing form. Here, the desired content is transmitted on the pressure plate. Nowadays this is done manually, but through automated processes, deliver content directly from the computer on the plate. Printing forms for offset printing can be produced faster and cheaper than those for high – or low-pressure processes.

The offset printing process based on the liquid attraction of different materials. An offset printing plate has hydrophilic and lipophilic areas. The hydrophilic part attracts water, holding it, and can not be wetted by colors. In contrast, the lipophilic parts reject water, but hold color. The combination of the two properties in a printing plate allows to distribute colours only on the lipophilic areas and reach an exact control of the colour impression. The offset is implemented by first wet the hydrophilic portions of the pressure plate with water be following the lipophilic areas with color.
