What does LITHO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A shortened, informal name for lithography, the printing process, or for a print produced by that process.
Printers and artists shorten lithography to litho in everyday shop talk, using the short form both for the printing technique itself and for a finished print pulled from a flat stone or metal plate. The same short word also works as an adjective, as in a litho press or litho ink, letting people avoid repeating the longer technical term. Litho printing works on the principle that grease and water repel each other, so an image drawn in a greasy medium picks up ink while the rest of the plate stays clean.
How LITHO is used
