Offset Press, Typically --- HOWEVER, If you are just printing a very limited number (a couple hundred or less), you can accomplish the same thing by laying out pages as 11x17 documents and then have Kinkos color print them, fold and staple them, and cut them (for a "bleed") effect.
If you are talking about a large project, though, use a professional printer that specializes in glossy magazine printing. Heritage Press in El Reno, Oklahoma is one such company, but hundreds can be found across the nation. They use high-end imagesetters, high-end pre-press software (beyond what even Adobe can do), and multi-million dollar presses. They are very expensive, though, often charging upwards of ten thousand dollars for a very modest press run of a 60- to 80-page magazine.

Mostly offset printing is used.
A continuous roll of paper passes through rollers with an image of the text or images and ink is impressioned on one roller and then onto the paper. The paper is then cut and later bound.
