Abstract EN

This study aims to reach the environmental effects of the lithographic plate in Sudan, and the reality of the concepts of environmental protection in our printing presses through dealing with the plate, and to what extent these printing presses deal with processless plates, by answering the question: What are the procedures and measures that Followed by printing presses in Sudan to control the environmental effects of the lithographic plate? The importance of the study is that it sheds light on the issue of pollution and the environmental impacts in the printing industry in general and in Sudan in particular, and reveals the dimensions of protecting technicians and print workers from the dangers of printing contaminants, especially printing plates, in addition to that it addresses an aspect that most studies that dealt with printing problems have overlooked In Sudan, it is the environmental aspect.

The interview tool was used with the study samples; Inorder to collect the necessary data to answer the study questions and verify its hypotheses, and since the subject of the study overlaps with environmental issues, the study samples were chosen to match this overlap, so an intentional sample was chosen representing all the parties involved in this study, in four areas, namely : Lithographic offset printing (currency printing press), the field of printing strategies (the printing room of the Ministry of Industry), environmental standards (the Authority for Standardization and Metrology), and the technology field from computer to plate CTP, (Planet Nubia Press Company).

The study reached several results, the most important of which is that there are no standards set by the concerned authorities in Sudan regarding the selection of the quality of the plate, and therefore there is no environmental standard.
