Its initial launch was made possible thanks to a modest surplus from running the XIX International Ex-libris Congress at Keble College, Oxford in 1982.

The image is laser etched onto a plate made of either metal, commonly zinc or aluminium, or plastic. Whatever material is used, it is chemically treated so that only the lasered parts, those with the image, accept ink. The plate is mounted into the printing press, which is a series of rollers.
The first rollers dampen the plate with water. It then goes through inking rollers when a vegetable-oil based ink is applied. And, since water and oil don’t mix, the ink only adheres to the words and images.
The press plate rollers roll the image onto the rubber blanket, also on a roller. The paper is passed between the rubber blanket and a further “impression” roller, pressing them together, transferring the ink onto the paper.
Colour images are applied in layers in what is known as the CYMK system. This refers to the four colours used, namely cyan, magenta, yellow and black. There will usually be four separate machines for the paper to pass through, each pressing on a different colour until all the layers have been applied.
Whilst there is an expense in making the press plates and the overall initial setup, offset lithography printing is cost effective thereafter, making it ideal for printing in large volumes.

Jan 30, 2015 · Before printing can take place, metal printing plates of the book must be prepared. Rubber is burnt onto each plate, leaving behind a text image of the book. Originally, the text was made up of individual pieces of metal type assembled page-by-page, rather than being lasered onto a plate digitally – an immensely skilled and painstaking process.
