Fully printed and multifunctional graphene-based wearable e-textiles for personalized healthcare applications (2022)
Journal Article
Islam, M. R., Afroj, S., Beach, C., Islam, M. H., Parraman, C., Abdelkader, A., …Karim, N. (2022). Fully printed and multifunctional graphene-based wearable e-textiles for personalized healthcare applications. iScience, 25(3), Article 103945. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2022.103945

Wearable e-textiles have gained huge tractions due to their potential for non-invasive health monitoring. However, manufacturing of multifunctional wearable e-textiles remains challenging, due to poor performance, comfortability, scalability, and cos...

The Amber Project: A survey of methods and inks for the reproduction of the color of translucent objects (2022)
Journal Article
Trujillo-Vazquez, A., Fuller, H., Klein, S., & Parraman, C. (2022). The Amber Project: A survey of methods and inks for the reproduction of the color of translucent objects. Applied Sciences, 12(2), Article 793. https://doi.org/10.3390/app12020793

Unlike regular pigments based on selective light absorption, the so-called “effect pigments” are based on the phenomena of structural color, or selective reflectance. Structural color has appealing aesthetic qualities, such as angle-dependent hue, an...

Printing the light (2021)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Klein, S. (2021). Printing the light. Coloration Technology, 137(1), 86-89. https://doi.org/10.1111/cote.12523

This paper explores the relationship between additive and subtractive mixing for colour printing. Using Spectraval mica pigments (Merck)—marketed as RGB pigments—colour is generated by selective reflection and prints are based on additive colour mixi... Read More about Printing the light.

Black to Black (2018)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2018). Black to Black. Printmaking Today, 27(108), 32-33

A technical review of specialist black printmaking papers, where to find them and how to use them.

The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2016)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2016). The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art. International Journal of Arts Theory and History, 11(4), 33-44

Since the introduction of computers, there has been a desire to improve the appearance of computer-generated objects in virtual spaces and to display the objects within complex scenes exactly as they appear in reality. This is a straightforward proce... Read More about The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art.

Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering (2016)
Journal Article
O'Dowd, P., Parraman, C., & Harding, M. (2016). Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering. https://doi.org/10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2016.20.COLOR-343

This paper documents the development of a low-cost 2.5D printing machine. The machine is being developed specifically to consistently print combined colour and texture on to 2D surfaces. The proposal is not so much to produce a painting machine in em... Read More about Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering.

How red is Cadmium red? (2016)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Mottram, J. (2016). How red is Cadmium red?

Interest in the colour reproduction of artworks and artefacts is gaining more significance, as it is now recognised that some artefacts are too delicate to be exhibited and some important landmarks are no longer around due to damage by war or climate... Read More about How red is Cadmium red?.

Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy (2014)
Journal Article
McCann, J. J., Parraman, C., & Rizzi, A. (2014). Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00005

We studied color constancy using a pair of identical 3-D Color Mondrian displays. We viewed one 3-D Mondrian in nearly uniform illumination, and the other in directional, nonuniform illumination. We used the three dimensional structures to modulate t... Read More about Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy.

Methods for multi-layer color printing and decorative inks for ultra-violet fine art inkjet (2013)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2013). Methods for multi-layer color printing and decorative inks for ultra-violet fine art inkjet

As more robust methods for UV cure inkjet printing are being introduced to market, alternative colour and decorative printing methods have been tested for the art, design and print sector. In order to increase density of colour, and improve ink cover... Read More about Methods for multi-layer color printing and decorative inks for ultra-violet fine art inkjet.
