In accordance with the term „sustainable development”, the research in this doctoral thesis is focused on obtaining the most important qualitative parameters of a new graphic product made by using renewable resources, which correspond to the standard of graphic products printed by flexographic printing technique. Qualitative tests were carried out on flexographic prints obtained with convencional water based inks and modern UV curing inks. The prints were made on laboratory-made paper substrates containing cellulose pulp of straw of three types of cereals in different proportions: wheat, barley, triticale, and recycled paper. The study is divided into several phases: the qualitative evaluation of the print, the optical stability of the print after standard methods of testing at high temperature and UV light and the stability on various chemical agents and the pressure. The aim of this study is to define the usability of printing substrates with alternative non wood fibers printed by flexographic printing technique. Based on research, it can be concluded that laboratory-produced papers with the addition of straw pulp of all cereals meet the quality of reproduction, while laboratory papers printed with conventional water-based inks generally show excellent optical stability after exposure to elevated temperature, chemical agents and pressure. Laboratory papers printed with UV flexographic inks show the greatest resistance to pressure. It is recommended that the cellulose pulp papers of these environmentally friendly raw materials be made of higher weight to achieve lower values of Euclidean undertone differences and color penetration within the printing substrate and to introduce the final stages of paper surface treatment. Also, based on qualitative analysis, it can be recommended that papers with the addition of cereal straw pulp printed with conventional water-based paints should be avoided only when packaging is containing alkaline products or oils. Although papers with the addition of cereal straw pulp are not suitable for printing with UV curing inks for use in primary food packaging, due to their good mechanical resistance they are excellent for printing various publications and labels. Experimental part was conducted in the following order: forming of laboratory papers by mixing straw pulp from three types of cereals, wheat, barley or triticale in different mass ratios with the pulp of commercial paper made from recycled wood pulp. The mass ratios for the straw pulp of each type of cereal are: 10 % straw pulp and 90 % recycled commercial paper pulp, 20 % straw pulp and 80 % recycled commercial paper pulp and 30 % straw pulp and 70 % recycled commercial paper pulp. Laboratory papers were then printed on a flexographic printing simulators with two types of ink: conventional water-based and UV ink. All printingsubstrates are printed with both types of flexographic inks in monochrome (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) and multichrome (yellow + magenta, yellow + cyan, cyan + magenta, yellow + cyan + magenta) prints. Usability of the prints made on paper with addition of straw pulp were observed based on qualitative mesaurements: spectrophotometric values of color, graininess, mottling, optical density, total amount of color on the print (undertone), trapping and ink penetration within printing substrates. Optical stability of prints was analysed based on elevated temperature and UV light, the effect of various chemical agents and pressure. Changes in the prints were determined based on the colorimetric difference, i.e. the Euclidean difference in the color of the prints before and after the treatment. Synthesis of results provides insight and guidelines on which laboratory papers are most acceptable for a particular graphic product, taking into account the type of ink. Based on the qualitative analysis, it can be concluded that satisfactory quality of reproduction of monochromatic and multichromatic colors obtained by flexographic printing technique was achieved on laboratory papers with the addition of wheat, barley and triticale straw pulp. It is recommended that the paper is made of a higher grammage in order to achieve lower values of Euclidean difference of undertones and ink penetration within the printing substrate and to carry out the final stages of paper production. Flexographic prints on laboratory papers with cereal straw pulp printed with conventional water-based inks have very good optical stability after exposure to elevated temperature and UV radiation for 48 hours. After a period of 96 hours changes that are not optimal show laboratory papers printed with cyan and yellow ink. Also, most laboratory papers printed with conventional water-based inks have optimal chemical stability. Lower optical stability is caused by alkali on all printed substrates, where the most stable laboratory papers are printed in yellow and black inks, while all flexographic prints showed poor resistance to soybean oil. Flexographic prints also showed excellent stability, i.e. resistance to pressure except laboratory papers printed with three layers of ink. Laboratory papers with the addition of straw pulp of all cereals are not equally good for printing with UV inks and conventional water-based inks. Both inks used on laboratory papers with the addition of straw pulp of all cereals shows advantages or disadvantages in various situations. It is the same, of course, with commercial papers used in the industry for the production of various graphic products. It is important to plan very well which ink will be printed on which paper in order for the purpose of the final product to be fulfilled. Since most laboratory papers with the addition of wheat, barley or triticale straw pulp printed with conventional water-based inks have good resistance to elevated temperature, chemical agents and pressure, withadditional finishing stages and increasing the weight of such newly formed papers with nonwood fibers could be used for various purposes: for a certain type of food packaging that does not contain oils or alkaline products, tobacco packaging, crates, bags, folders, office paper, books and various publications. Laboratory papers with the addition of straw pulp of all cereals printed with UV inks showed the best stability in the case of printing with yellow and black and excellent mechanical stability. Although not recommended for use in primary food packaging, they could be used to print a variety of publications and labels.
