DEF

Procédé qui consiste à imprimer une plaque offset à partir du grain de la plaque.

OBS

Après insolation, on passe sur la couche sensible une laque qui la colore, et on développe la plaque par dépouillement en versant dessus une solution qui débarrasse plus ou moins les pointes des grains suivant l'intensité de l'insolation reçue. Les restes de couche servent de support à l'encre et constituent l'image imprimante.
