Who We Are

In practice today only the most outstanding problem is normally dealt with, while another one might be even more important tomorrow. So often there does not remain time to complement our points of view or to rethink well-worn production structures. 

In a time when, in many printing enterprises, only a limit going towards zero is achieved with the utmost effort, printing as an ecological alternative presents itself for a wide-range product spectrum. 

The promotion of research and development in the field of printing process in order to avoid ecological damage, keeping to highest printing quality, has become the aim of some MPLA who founded the society in 28^th of July 1952. Along with the topics of research and development, the society’s aim is to inform professional technicians and scientists about the technical printing at home. 

Training programmes, discussions on the subject and exchange of experiences are to help answering open questions and to provide aid to decision-making. 

The logo of the society stands for international co-operation, environmental protection and quality.
