Programs used in the print shop and not only
There are more and more graphics processing programs, from the most popular Photoshop to less known and free ones like Inkscape. Professionals usually use one or two proven programs, which translates into their high productivity.
In the work of graphics or DTP operator you usually need a program for processing vector and raster graphics. You can also include word processors, programs provided by print equipment manufacturers, to the pool of programs needed for such work.
About standards
Standards in every industry and business are important. Imagine that we buy a monitor and its input does not match our video card, even though it has the same type. That's why certain standards apply.
In polygraphy and graphics, such standards also exist - appropriate definitions of CMYK colors - key for the appropriate color reproduction. Specified in advance formats for printing leaflets and business cards, so that they are comfortable and as uniform as possible. Without standards, even leaflets could be completely unreadable and even repulsive.
Polygraphy
The printing itself is a department wide as the sea and various fishes in this sea are swimming. From simple leaflets to large banners or window stickers. With such a broad concept, it is sometimes difficult to say what the printing company specializes in.
Some factories are choosing low-volume small-format prints, others for stickers, and others only for large-format printing. What sometimes makes it difficult to choose one plant for our orders, but what the market is like, and the price of services and their quality are also important.
