Fourteen workers, 11 teachers among them (prof., doc., eng.) work in the Department of Printing Machines. Twenty five subjects teach about publishing and typographical activities from preparation of editions, prepress (technology and equipment), printing process and machines to postpress and production of books, magazines, newspapers, packages and so on. Laboratories of Department have devices and equipment using by printing houses. This is a good basis for teach bachelors and masters (about fifty every year).
