Modelling and Simulation of Integration of Web system, Digital and Conventional Printing

This paper outlines our consideration of communication systems in the graphic production in reference to the appearance of web technologies. The stress is on the problems of different formats of big files, color systems and picture compressions. The method of investigation is a stochastic simulation. The model includes different information flow technologies and different prepress technologies. Therefore we have considered conventional and digital forms in printing. We have outlined some open issues of cohabitation of new media and printing technologies. In addition to the results of experimenting on the proposed models, we offer our intentions for further investigation on consequences of appearance of integrating web systems, digital and conventional printing.
