Visual technology is the engineering discipline dealing with visual representation. It includes:

• Photography
• Printing
• Video

Photography (IPA: /fә'tจปgrәfi/ or /foʊ'tจปgrәfi/) is the process of recording pictures by means of capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects expose a sensitive silver halide based chemical or electronic medium during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically.

Printing is a process for reproducing text and image, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as a large-scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing.

Video is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still images representing scenes in motion. Video technology was first developed for television systems, but has been further developed in many formats to allow for consumer video recording. Video can also be viewed through the Internet as video clips or streaming media clips on computer monitors.

Graphic print Production Graphic printing is related with the Print production services, sourcing print, providing a competitive quotation, lithographic and digital printing according to requirement, sourcing services and so much more. Every company in printing, provide a complete solution. There are different phases and steps involved in graphic print production usually these are four phases and eight steps involve in printing production.

Four main phases involved in Graphic Printing Production

1. Concept visualization

2. Creative Production (Design phase)

3. Industrial Production

4. Logistics

The first phase consists of further two working steps which are Strategic Work and Creative Work, and the end result of this phase is the finalization of the idea and approved sketches of graphical design.

In the second phase which consistes Image and Text step and Layout step. The design is designed using some software and it takes a real form than sketch and after this phase the design can be used for printing.

In the third phase the developed design is taken and put to final product. This phase consists of Prepress, Printing, Finishing and Binding steps.

The last phase of the process is distribution of the finished printed product.

Eight steps involve in printing production

1. Strategic Work
2. Creative Work
3. Image and text
4. Layout
5. Prepress
6. Printing
7. Finishing and binding
8. Distribution
Strategic Work:
Creative Work:
Image and text:
The next step is to placement of image and text on your required print. Either you got it from cd, scanner, digital camera or design by yourself then the right placement of text in the print. You have to consider that what will be the right effect of image and text after the printing.
Layout
Prepress:
The following items have each been considered part of prepress at one time or another: typesetting, copyediting, markup, proofreading, page layout, screening (of continuous-tone images such as photographs), retouching, page assembly (stripping), imposition (combination of many pages into a single signature form), trapping (also referred to as spreading and choking), separation (specifying images or text to be put on plates applying individual printing mediums [inks, varnishes, etc.] to a common print) and plate making (photomechanical exposure and processing of light-sensitive emulsion on a printing plate).
Printing:
Printing is a process for reproducing text and image, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as a large-scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing, lot of form of printing are used, like offset printing, digital printing etc. In printing we have papers that first we set the printing plates, adjust the ink and then set the papers sheets and start printing until printer not be ready to print accurate, desired printing sheet. so the papers used are called waste papers.
Finishing and Binding:
After the completion of printing , next step is how to the arrange the prints and how to finishing. 'Finishing' is the overall name given to several types of process; all of which convert the output of a printing operation into a finished product
