The aim of the thesis was to create an illustration with enriched elements that allow different tactile and decorative effects. The purpose of the thesis was to research the printing techniques that enable the inclusion of additional elements on the printed matter and to determine the appropriate sequence of used printing techniques for the making of tactile decorative reproduction. The aim of the task was to print several different tactile decorative illustrations with additional elements using different printing techniques, to determine appropriate printing conditions that allowed good reproduction and to assess the impact of individual printing techniques on the appearance and quality of the final product. The theoretical part describes the basic types of printing methods. Techniques that enable the production of additional tactile and decorative elements have been researched in more detail. An overview of different materials and printing processes that affect the final product and its decorative and tactile properties is presented. Through an overview of the properties, advantages and limitations of each printing technique, those that were appropriate for the production of tactile decorative illustration were selected. The experimental part presents the process of making the basic image of the illustration, describes the preparation procedures for printing and the printing process itself for each type or combination of two printing techniques. As a result, a visual assessment of the prints and a more detailed analysis of the properties of individual printed matter are given. An estimate of the cost and time to produce an individual tactile reproduction is added. Comments are given on the suitability of each printing technique for the production of certain enriched elements in the illustration. Finally, with a combination of UV droplet printing and screen printing, a tactile and decorative illustration was created directly on a tablet case.
