Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C., & Mottram, J. (2013, July). Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication. Paper presented at AIC 2013, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK

Our current digital technologies are as much a part of the cultural heritage of tomorrow as are the material objects we create and the discourses and narratives that bind theory and practice. In this fast moving technological environment, with increa... Read More about Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication.

Reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Hoskins, S., Parraman, C., Mccallion, P., & Cohen, C. (2013, July). Reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks. Paper presented at AIC 2013, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

This paper considers alternative approaches to image making and printing that moves from the on-screen representation of images and painting applications, to the physical generation and methods for surface deposition or 2.5D printing. The research in... Read More about Reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks.

Exploration of alternative print methodology for colour printing through the multi‐layering of ink (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C., & Olen, M. (2013, July). Exploration of alternative print methodology for colour printing through the multi‐layering of ink. Paper presented at AIC 2013, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

This paper explores the application of artist driven colour mixing and multi-layering of pigments using inkjet printing. A standardised colour managment workflow is essential for predicable and repeatable colour for inkjet printing. With the correct...

New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C. (2010, May). New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints. Paper presented at 4th International Conference on: Preservation and Conservation Issues in Digital Printing and Digital Photography, Institute of Physics, London

The most important impact on colour fading in prints is exposure to light and air. However what happens to coloured prints during long-term storage in boxes, drawers and on shelves? In short very little, but changes do occur. Measurements to samples,... Read More about New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints.

Developments in the recovery of colour in fine art prints through spatial image processing methods (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C., & Rizzi, A. (2010, May). Developments in the recovery of colour in fine art prints through spatial image processing methods. Paper presented at 4th International Conference on: Preservation and Conservation Issues in Digital Printing and Digital Photography, Institute of Physics, London

Printmakers have at their disposal a wide range of colour printing processes. The majority of artists will utilise high quality materials with the expectation that the best materials and pigments will ensure image permanence. However, as many artists...
