Abstract
The reinterpretation of classical arts in digital art is the basic framework
in which the world is moving with the help of two concepts classically
and digitally. It is important to know how much digital art has helped and
ease the consumption of art among the broad masses on the one hand,
while on the other hand it is the classic basis for everything. The phenomena
of “From pigment to pixel” is the focus of this research, or how the
aesthetics of classical use are in the epoch of digital. The instrument for
transferring elements from one to the other meaning system or art discourse,
or as an act of creation that strategically applies to existing artistic
or non-artistic creations as a building for the construction of a new artistic
creation, is called appropriation. The aim of the paper is to analytically
review the most important works that are the state-of-the-art in the
transfer of meanings “From pigment to pixel” and to interpretively present
new assumptions, synthesis and analogies that are raised from a new
paradigm of observing this phenomena in the art and the technology.
After a review of history in pixel-pigment implementations the paper
addresses and critically discusses the works of Oliver Laric, as a representative
artist that creatively interlaces the physical and digital giving
new meaning to the reinterpretations of classical arts in digital forms. In
the final part of the analytical review the manifestation of avatars and
digital body (body and identity) are presented and discussed. In the conclusions
the authors’ study is summed up with three interpretative observations
that give the initiative also for further researches in the field.

Abstract
Every new brand which competes and increases its market share needs some
tools and methods to be applied to its products. The objective of this research
is to investigate the use of metaphor as a tool for peak shift effect and
its impact on memory, which can be effective in promoting brand identity
from a customer perspective. In this respect, this research uses a combination
of memory test and comparison of two objects method. Therefore, the
research method was according to environment specifications. The results
indicated that the products having metaphor in comparison to products with
no metaphor has an effective role in peak shift and image persistence and
its name in user’s mind. In conclusion, the brand identity can be promoted in
a variety of ways, among which the design of metaphor, which is related to
product design and graphic design, is one of these ways.

Abstract
Fountain solution induced mottling in offset printing manifests as nonhomogenous
printing area with optical variation has several influencing
factors. One mechanism is that the fountain solution from the previous
printing unit has no time to absorb into the coating before ink transfer
or the ink cannot emulsify the water and stays on top of the ink surface
as an additional hydrophilic layer. In paper coating development, the
paper chemistry influences the surface chemistry features of the inkpaper
coating interaction and can cause water repellency. Porosity and
the absorbing capacity of paper and its coating is of great importance
to avoid press related problems. In this paper, we have examined paper
substrates which were reported to cause wet repellence mottling and
tested their porosity ratio of micro and macro pores and their water/
ink absorption properties. The micro macro porosity was determined
by using easy and low-cost proprietary technique for the porosity ratio
determination. We have measured ink stabilization values, penetration
dynamics, wet repellence mottling and micro and macro porosity on
paper samples printed with laboratory sheet-fed offset printing. We have
found that the lower number of macropores and non-optimal micro
and macropore distribution influenced the occurrence of water induced
wet repellence and lowered the optical homogeneity of the samples.

Abstract
Expensive synthetic coating materials can be replaced with natural
coatings and surface treatment with natural components and additives
which are friendlier to the environment and have normally better special
surface properties. However, special properties can be obtained with
surface functionalization by chemical or surface geometry modification.
Beside optical properties, the trends of lightweight materials, i.e.
reducing grammage by using nano materials and products (i.e. NMP -
N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone), lower specific energy requirement and costs,
forces increasing of pigments usage. Results of survey showed that
surface properties of papers coated with modified ground calcium
carbonate (GCC), required for inkjet printing with water-based inks had
improved significantly, whereas the increment of printed object has
minimum differentiation from the ideal, computer-based character.

Abstract
A statistical design of experiments was used to evaluate the potential use of
clay catalyst (CuOFeB) during photo-Fenton process in which the concentration
of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), catalyst loading and pH values were selected
as effective experimental factors in the process of dye decolorization. The
photo-Fenton oxidation of Reactive Red 120 (RR120) has been investigated
using a concentrating solar parabolic reactor with constant solar radiation
of 950 W/m2 during summer period of the year. Under the optimal reaction
conditions catalyst showed good catalytic activity in the processes with dye
removal over 90%. Also, experiment confirmed that decolorization efficiency
depends on the pH and concentration of H2O2 , wherein better results were
achieved under lower pH values and higher concentration of H2O2.

- 6. Investigation of the effects of silicone oil coating and hot air drying on the optical and physical properties of heat-set web offset printing papers

Abstract
Heat-set web offset printing is a printing system that ink dries quickly
with hot air. It is one of the preferred printing techniques with high speed
printing process and print quality. Web offset printing machines produce
approximately 60,000-70,000 iph (impressions per hour). Because of this
speed, printing paper should be very durable during the printing process.
In this study, three different (70 g/m2 high-grade, 70 g/m2 glossy coated
and 90 g/m2 matte coated) roll papers were used. All these papers were
printed with Goss M600 web offset printing machine. Three kinds of samples
(non-oven - non-silicone, ovened – non-silicone and ovened - siliconed)
were taken from every paper type and optical and physical tests were
applied to these samples. It was determined that heat-set web offset
printing papers showed different responses to temperature and silicone
oil coating in the direction of the obtained results. All printed papers
were compared only to their own kind, not the other type of papers.
