When lithographic is used, as its combination, which is depending on the repulsion of oil and water a flat Plano graphic image carrier will get ink from the ink rollers and while the non printing area attracts water based film known as the fountain solution.

Thermography - Thermography involves the heating of the paper and adding powder to the ink and the print is raised on the paper. Often used in invitation cards, visiting cards, and letterheads.
