Star Graphic Supplies is an authorized dealer for Lithco.
We offer their most popular products online and can supply their full line upon request.
Founded in 1963 and based in California, Lithco is both a manufacturer and master distributor serving the graphic arts industry with a broad portfolio of imaging, prepress, pressroom, and bindery supplies. Their dealer-focused model and comprehensive catalog make Lithco a reliable source for offset printing consumables, accessories, and shop essentials that keep pressrooms running smoothly.
For offset printers, Lithco is known for practical, workhorse products that solve day-to-day production needs — from blanket and roller care to plate maintenance, masking sheets, cotton pads, clean-up sheets, and press accessories. Their long tenure serving the dealer channel has created a dependable supply chain and steady product availability for shops of all sizes.
While Lithco’s catalog spans related areas like digital printing, screen printing, and bindery supplies, the core value for offset operations remains their extensive pressroom and prepress range — consumables that are consistent, reasonably priced, and easy to integrate into existing workflows.
- Pressroom consumables: clean-up sheets, cotton pads, masking sheets, and shop accessories used daily on offset presses.
- Prepress and plate care supplies to maintain plate integrity and consistent image reproduction.
- Compatibility with leading press chemistries and meters through master-distributed partner brands.
Lithco’s reputation is built on breadth, availability, and practicality. They offer the “must-have” items a press crew reaches for every shift, backed by decades of distribution expertise. For offset environments that need reliable consumables without complicating production, Lithco delivers straightforward value.
Press operators appreciate Lithco for consistency and fit across common offset platforms. Products like clean-up sheets and cotton pads are sized and spec’d for real-world use, so crews can swap them in with minimal downtime and predictable results.
As a master distributor with a wide partner network, Lithco keeps common items in circulation and supports specialized needs through a deep catalog. That mix helps modern shops stabilize procurement and avoid production delays from hard-to-source supplies.
- Dependable day-to-day consumables for offset pressrooms.
- Dealer-driven availability and wide catalog coverage.
- Easy adoption with sizing and specs tailored to common presses.
