3D printing the Woodburytype – Plastic printing the plate or gel printing the image? (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Woodburytype process is one of the only printing processes capable of producing continuous tone. It is a 2.5D process that produces a textured relief print from a gelatin-based ink that contains no photo-active element and therefore does not degr...

Continuous tone relief prints in gelatin – The Woodburytype (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Since its inception, halftoning has provided us methods of print that have high throughput and are easily reproducible. However, as the complexity of our printing methods increase, we can instead turn our attention to continuous tone methods, where t...

The polychromatic Woodburytype: Colour tracking in translucent, patterned gelatin/pigment films (2020)
Journal Article

The Woodburytype is a 19th century photomechanical technique capable of producing high-quality continuous-tone prints. It uses pigment dispersed in gelatin to produce a 2.5D print, in which the effect of varying tone is produced by a variation in the...

Woodburytype: A historical process resurrected by modern methods (2020)
Journal Article

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. Along...

Continuous Tone Printing from Gel Matrices - The Woodburytype (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Prevailing print techniques such as inkjet rely on halftoning, a process whereby image tone is approximated by a matrix of droplets varying in density. This, while useful in many applications, ensures a direct link between the resolution and the drop... Read More about Continuous Tone Printing from Gel Matrices - The Woodburytype.

The optical properties of the Woodburytype - An alternative printing technique based on a gelatine/pigment matrix (2020)
Journal Article

The Woodburytype is a 19th century photomechanical printing method, producing high-quality continuous-tone images that use a suspension of carbon black in gelatine as a relief print, in which the variation in height of the print produces the grayscal...

The optical properties of the Woodburytype - An alternative printing technique based on a gelatine/pigment matrix (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 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...
