Printing process simulation based on data for standards taken from actual production

The paper shows the created tools that enable a description of virtual printing machines with all the belonging parameters and material necessary for the printing process. Real-life characteristics are built into the virtual machines and the measured time periods for individual machines in the printing process. Thus the cost-efficiency order of each machine for certain types of jobs was obtained, and the digital job order system was determined. The results obtained are the ones improving and raising production planning and control on a higher level, as well as allowing additional building-in of JDF. The set goal is to create as many production situations as possible, archive the gained results into databases, aiming at getting a complete computer science description of graphic production units and situations.
