Objectives
THEORETICAL
Acquisition of knowledge of the stages that constitute the different workflows in the printing industry. Acquire general knowledge about originals and their reproductivity, typography and color.
Understanding the different graphic reproduction systems and their specific application. Acquire in-depth knowledge regarding the constitution of the printer form suitable for industrial production.
ENGRAVING
Theoretical knowledge of the different technical processes of engraving, and practical domain of the technical process of engraving in etching.
TYPSETTING
Acquisition of theoretical-practical knowledge related to typsetting in manual composition. Know the typographic rules. To develop practical works in the workshop of manual composition thus providing experimentation with types and graphic composition.
