The development of software module for improvement of knowledge and production in graphic arts industry

The subject of research area is the printing industry through the development of software models to improve the knowledge transfer and production, using modern computer and software systems. The research activities would include the most important segments for the knowledge development implemented in the software model. From the adopted knowledge model further separate modules will be developed. These software modules will improve the key findings and would be included through the development of a knowledge base for basic graphics production. The software model would be based on modern Web technologies that allow access to and use of research results. The research results would include the application of new knowledge in printing techniques, materials, methods of reproduction and final impact on the quality of the product, especially packaging. Additional results would be achieved through the analysis of production, defining the influence of printing substrates, colour, forms and machines, the process of surface enhancement and their influence on final appearance results. Implementation of the individual components of digital and analog production workflow through the integration of Web technologies. Merged results would be practically implemented through the development of on-line graphic center that would constitute an information system based on web technologies that would improve the transfer of knowledge and technologies in the printing industry.
