Experiments in inkjet colour tests for printmaking (2010)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2010). Experiments in inkjet colour tests for printmaking

The motivation for this research is based on how artists mix and print colour by traditional means (painting and printmaking) and how these differ from colour picker tools, slider bars and methods developed for digital printing, and whether it is...

Pixel and spatial mechanisms of color constancy (2010)
Journal Article
Rizzi, A., McCann, J. J., & Parraman, C. (2010). Pixel and spatial mechanisms of color constancy. Proceedings of SPIE, 7528, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.838736

Color constancy remains an important subject of research on color standards, computer imaging, and human color vision. There are many different theories and algorithms that interpret and predict constancy. This paper analyzes three different approach...

Specifying colour and maintaining colour accuracy for 3D printing (2008)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., Walters, P., Huson, D., & Reid, B. (2008). Specifying colour and maintaining colour accuracy for 3D printing. Proceedings of SPIE, 6805, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.766540

Advances in rapid prototyping technologies have led to the emergence of three-dimensional printers which can fabricate physical artefacts, including the application of surface colours. In light of these developments, this paper asserts that the need... Read More about Specifying colour and maintaining colour accuracy for 3D printing.

The practical application of an artist's colour model as an alternative to CMYK (2003)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Hoskins, S. (2003). The practical application of an artist's colour model as an alternative to CMYK. Proceedings of SPIE, 5008, 129-137. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.475433

This paper presents an alternative view of colour, from the artist's perspective. It highlights problems that are current in inkjet and wideformat printing. And how other print processes, such as (silk)screenprint, can offer answers to developing ink... Read More about The practical application of an artist's colour model as an alternative to CMYK.
