Historical 2.5D photomechanical printing (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Klein, S., & Parraman, C. (2019). Historical 2.5D photomechanical printing. In Proceedings of the Imaging Conference JAPAN 2019. , (215-217)

One of the technological achievements of the 19th century was the mass reproduction of photographic images. Woodburytype was the first commercially successful photomechanical continuous tone printing method, of unsurpassed quality until today, and, a...

The Canadians: a collective effort to fulfill a naive promise (2019)
Other
Klein, S., Menger, F., & Argyle, J. (2019). The Canadians: a collective effort to fulfill a naive promise

The project came about to fulfill a naively given promise. In May 2019 Susanne and her friend Marianne visited Canada to attend Marianne’s great niece’s wedding. They stayed with Marianne’s family. As a thank you for their hospitality Susanne, took p... Read More about The Canadians: a collective effort to fulfill a naive promise.

The optical properties of the Woodburytype - An alternative printing technique based on a gelatine/pigment matrix (2019)
Journal Article
Klein, S., Leech, D., & Guy, W. (2019). The optical properties of the Woodburytype - An alternative printing technique based on a gelatine/pigment matrix. https://doi.org/10.2352/ISSN.2169-4451.2019.35.42

© 2019 Society for Imaging Science and Technology The Woodburytype is a 19th century photomechanical technique, producing high-quality continuous-tone prints that use a mixture of pigment and gelatine as a relief print, in which the variation in heig...

RTI for RGB: Photographing mica based inks on black paper using reflectance transform imaging (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C., & Klein, S. (2019, April). RTI for RGB: Photographing mica based inks on black paper using reflectance transform imaging. Paper presented at Transactions: Imaging/Art/Science: Image Quality, Content & Aesthetics, London, England

Over the last century printers rely on the combination of halftones and subtractive CMYK ink primaries to translate an image on screen into a colour print on paper. This is certainly commercially expedient for many industrial applications. However, t...

And now for something completely different: Woodburytype (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Klein, S., & Leech, D. (2019, April). And now for something completely different: Woodburytype. Presented at British Liquid Crystal Society 2019 Annual Conference, Leeds, England

Woodburytype, invented by Walter B. Woodbury and patented in 1863, was the first commercially successful mechanical printing process for the permanent reproduction of photographic quality pictures and today is still unsurpassed in producing continuou...
