The frieze of the Palace of the stuccoes, dated between the 5 th and 6 th century BC, was a polychrome Maya relief discovered in the 1907 in Yucatán, Mexico. It was documented in watercolours and hand tinted photographs by Adela Breton. After years o...

How to print a rainbow (2019)
Journal Article
Klein, S., Parraman, C., & Voges, L. (2019). How to print a rainbow. https://doi.org/10.2352/ISSN.2169-4451.2019.35.52

In the 21st century, methods for translating additive colours as seen on screens (Red Green Blue (RGB)) into subtractive colours (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black (CMYK)) for industrial print are based on 4 colour halftoning. CMYK are so called process colo... Read More about How to print a rainbow.

An evaluation of the transferability of Munsell's colour notation methodology to modern inkjet printing technology (2015)
Journal Article
Olen, M., Geisow, A., & Parraman, C. (2015). An evaluation of the transferability of Munsell's colour notation methodology to modern inkjet printing technology. Proceedings of SPIE, 9395, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2083333

© 2015 SPIE. This paper examines the transferability of the Munsell system to modern inkjet colorants and printing technology following a similar approach to his original methods. While extensive research and development has gone into establishing me...

An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Tisato, F. (2014). An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041209

The objective is to create a micro-environment-an illuminated dome with a constant geometry of illumination-to undertake non invasive observation of the surface topography of artworks. The dome is attached to a stereo-microscope, which is able to gai... Read More about An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques.

The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2014). The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041216

Primary components in the colour reproduction of textured materials are firstly, the accurate rendering of the appearance of texture, and secondly the ability to print a surface topology that moves towards 2.5D printing. However, in order to render s... Read More about The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters.
