This article analyzes the evolution of digital graphic production, focusing on the transformations brought by graphic software from the vector design stage to final printing. With technological advancement, graphic processes have become more efficient, automated, and accessible, directly impacting the production chain of the sector. The research addresses key milestones in digitization, tools used in prepress, widely adopted file formats, RIP system compatibility, and integration with digital printers. The findings show how this evolution not only optimized operational workflows but also expanded creative and commercial possibilities for designers, print shops, and production teams. The study is based on literature review and comparative technical analysis. It concludes that mastering digital technologies is a crucial factor for competitiveness in today’s graphic market.
