Reproduction of 16th century multi-colour Chiaroscuro Woodblock Prints using digital technologies (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Inspired by 16th century multi colour Chiaroscuro Woodblock Prints, we have sought to develop methods to recreate blocks from existing onscreen images or from printed facsimiles, by measuring colours and colour separation methods to create individual...

An exploration of alternative computer aided methods for multi-colour woodblock printing (2015)
Book Chapter

Inspired by the traditional Chiaroscuro woodblock printing techniques of the 16th century, we have explored the use of producing relief print impressions as a means to evaluate the surface rendered with 2.5D and 3D printing technologies. This work b... Read More about An exploration of alternative computer aided methods for multi-colour woodblock printing.

An exploration of low relief structure printing through the development of a novel full colour continuous tone plastographic printing method (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A traditional halftone print is created by translating the image into a series of dots of various sizes that convey the illusion of tone when printed. The carbon process and the Woodburytype process are a special kind of continuous tone image known a...

Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Current research at the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) at the University of the West of England, Bristol, is exploring the potential of creating coloured pictorial imagery from a continuous tone relief surface. To create the printing matrices... Read More about Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices.

The development of methods for the reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks (2014)
Book Chapter

Currently the reproduction of digitally printed works is divided between onscreen (RGB) representation of colour and the colorimetric translation through an imaging pipeline to a printing device (CMYK). As computational models for image analysis are... Read More about The development of methods for the reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks.

Continuous tone colour printing in two and a half dimensions through a combination of 19th century analogue methodologies and 3D printing (2013)
Book Chapter

This paper proposes a contemporary method of continuous tone colour printing based upon the Nineteenth Century printing process of Woodburytype as developed by Walter Bentley Woodbury in 1865. Woodburytype was the only truly continuous tone printing...

Generation of texture in continuous tone digital images (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In a digital age where artists and printers are required to learn a wide range of skills, from graphic design to colour science, is it possible to return to a more artistic application of colour, tone and texture with a mechanically printed image usi...
