Without printing it is very difficult to survive in today’s world. Like all other inventions, printing has travelled a long way to reach to its present form and we are very fortunate to mention here that over the years, it has established its own identity in the world market in terms of technological advancements and production efficiency. Offset printing process is the one of the major form of printing in India as well as worldwide. It occupies more than 40 per cent of total printing systems and even the introduction of digital technology has not changed the scenario much in recent time. Makeready operation is one of the major areas which need special care and attention not only to reduce the time and energy but also to minimize the level of paper waste.
