Summary:
A milestone in graphic arts history occurred in the early 1900s when a New Jersey printer named Ira Rubel accidentally used a rubber cloth as a cylinder on a lithographic press. Due to Rubel’s negligence in feeding paper, an impression was made on the cloth. When the next sheet went through the press, an extremely vivid impression was obtained on its reverse side. On the basis of this principle, Rubel invented his offset press in 1905.
