WHAT DOES ROTARY PRESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rotary printing press

A rotary printing press is a printing press in which the images to be printed are curved around a cylinder. Printing can be done on large number of substrates, including paper, cardboard, and plastic. Substrates can be sheet feed or unwound on a continuous roll through the press to be printed and further modified if required (e.g. die cut, overprint varnished, embossed). Printing presses that use continuous rolls are sometimes referred to as "web presses". Rotary drum printing was invented by Richard March Hoe in 1843, perfected in 1846, and patented in 1847. (Note – Some sources describe Parisian 'Hippolyte Auguste Marinoni', (1823, 7 January 1904) as the inventor of the Rotary printing press.) A.S. Abell and the Baltimore Sun was the first American user of the rotary press. Today, there are three main types of rotary presses; offset including web offset, rotogravure, and flexo (short for flexography). While the three types use cylinders to print, they vary in their method. Offset lithography uses a chemical process in which an image is chemically applied to a plate (generally through exposure of photosensitive layers on the plate material).
