Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare laserjet printing and inkjet printing
properties on recycled papers. In the study, we recycled reference papers
prepared in accordance with the INGEDE 11p standard. After recycling
the papers, we produced test papers in the laboratory environment
and examined the physical and optical properties of the obtained
papers. We applied calendering process at 100 oC temperature and
20 bar pressure on the obtained test papers. After this process, we
printed trigromy color measurement scales with inkjet and laserjet
printers on the test papers obtaine Finally, using the spectrophotometer,
we determined the printing properties of both print types.
When we examined the results, we determined that in most of the
printability parameters, laserjet had a superior performance and was
a more usable printing system. For example, while the inkjet cyan
density value is 0.94, the laserjet is 1.05. While M + Y trapping value
was 28.23 in inkjet, it was 92.20 in laserjet. For example, we found the
Gloss value as 2.53 in inkjet and 4.23 in laserjet. While inkjet cyan print
chroma value is 44.03, it is 48.09 in laserjet. In addition, we determined
that laserjet printing reached a wider area as a color gamut.
Based on the color measurement results of both printing types, we have
determined that the printability of recycled papers is reasonable. We
have determined with experimental results that laserjet printing produces
better quality prints in a short time, especially in the office environment.

Abstract
Traditionally, graphic design (GD) education focuses on the training of
technical production skills to prepare graduates for entry-level employment.
However, due to the new challenges and the expanding opportunities of
emerging practices, GD graduates are expected to master a wide range
of additional competencies beyond traditional scope. The study aims to
identify the competencies required by future GD graduates in the context
of Malaysia. A two-round modified Delphi technique was used to gain
consensus from a panel of experts consisted of design educators and industry
practitioners regarding the competencies needed by the graduates for
effective work performance. A total of 108 competencies were generated.
All accepted competencies were ranked ‘very important’ and ‘extremely
important’ by at least 75 percent of the respondents in Round Two. These
competencies could be classified into 29 subdomains under five components,
i.e., cognitive competence, functional competence, personal competence,
ethical competence, and meta-competencies. The findings of this study are
useful for enhancing the education and employability of graphic designers
as they provide a common vocabulary to relevant stakeholders about
the standards of performance for new entrants to the GD profession.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) or stroke is a disease that results in paralysis of one side of the body.
Physical therapy is generally used as a muscular rehabilitation tool that involves different techniques and exercises.
For it to be effective, the process must be accompanied by the constancy and discipline with which the routines are performed,
which are frequently limited to the hospital environment, causing an interruption in the development of recovery due to the
absence of home mechanisms that facilitate its execution in a safe and complete manner. In Colombia, these aspects are enhanced
by intervening factors such as: extensive travel from rural areas to care sites, accessibility to specialized centers, among others.
That is why this article provides the proposal of an equipment that contributes to CVA rehabilitation from the subacute stage.
The design and operation were developed and simulated through Solidworks 2018 Software, involving a series of exercises for upper
and lower limbs considered by physiotherapists as of high importance in the treatment of the disease; it means, they can be
executed by the patient under ergonomic and safety conditions.

Abstract
The article is dedicated to Kiev ex-libris school role (EL) in modern Ukrainian printmaking.
The loss process by a bookplate of utilitarian, applied functions and its transformation into an
independent work of art, collectors' object of interest with an appreciated art value is described.
The ex-libris schools formed in the first quarter of the 21st century are emphasized, the main trends
of the bookplate development predominant centers are defined (Kiev, Lvov, Odessa, Luhansk).
Printmaking techniques, typical for a particular ex-libris school, are marked. Kiev bookplate school,
as one of the leading centers for the classical xylography traditions preservation, is underlined.
The most significant masters, working in these techniques, are presented, the technological process
evolution is indicated and its main reasons are emphasized. The problem of opposition between the old
and new in the art of printmaking is touched upon by example of classical techniques and gathering
momentum computer graphics (CGA) coexistence.
