Graphic art is one of the most significant visual arts, distinguished by its ability to merge ideas with techniques to produce works that carry both aesthetic and intellectual dimensions. With the advancement of modern printing technologies, this art has expanded to include new forms of visual expression, ranging from advertising design and print production to interactive digital designs. Modern printing is no longer limited to paper; it now extends to fabrics, metals, plastics, and smart surfaces, offering artists and designers broad horizons for experimentation and creativity. This intersection between art and technology has fostered innovative methods of visual communication, turning graphic works into tools for cultural, social, and economic influence. Moreover, eco-friendly printing techniques and the recycling of printing materials are directly linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), aiming to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable production practices. Thus, graphic art and modern printing techniques go beyond decoration or marketing; they represent a dynamic visual language that reflects the spirit of the age and contributes to building environmental and aesthetic awareness in line with future aspirations.
