For those unfamiliar, lithography is a mechanical process traditionally using stone which later evolved to plates made from zinc around 1830 and aluminium around 1890.

Designs were historically drawn or painted with greasy ink onto a stone plate moistened with water, with the application of oily ink meaning that it only adheres to areas of the plate with the drawing. The print is then produced in a scraper press with the paper run against the inked drawing surface.

In commercial printing today, offset litho is commonly used to produce products such as newspapers, magazines, books, brochures, posters, leaflets, and so on. This process was patented by John Strather in 1853 and differs from the original litho method as a printing machine is now used instead of the designs being hand drawn onto the surface of the metal plate.

In the  1980/1990's there was a printer called Litho-Tech based in Bermondsey Street and they were among the printing elite, along with such names as CTD, Oakley Press, Balding & Mansell, Summerhall Press, Westerham Press etc.
