Influence of printing systems of hydrographic organizations on time of production and use of sea charts and navigational publications

The time elapsed from data collecting and cartographic processing to the chart reproduction is the time covering the chart production. The sea chart should be most accurate at the time of printing and publication. As the time of production is shorter, the chart information outline is more precise in comparison with real state. The time after the sea chart issuing, its distribution and use, in other words the lifetime of printed chart is significantly different from other graphic products lifetime. The basic difference refers to the fact that sea charts need to be updated, as to make them compatible to the real state in nature. The role of printing systems in the process from producing to publishing, as well as the use of sea charts is to influence on reduction of time needed and consequently on increase of sea chart and navigational publication accuracy. This is achieved applying relevant technology, standardizing and reducing time of graphic preparatory procedures (prepress), printing and updating.
