Vazquez, A. T., Aure, X., Klein, S., & Parraman, C. (2021). Recreating the relief of the temple of the Jaguars: Exploring digital and analogue 2.5D printing of Mesoamerican imagery. In Printing for Fabrication Online 2021 Final Program and Proceedings (41-46). https://doi.org/10.2352/issn.2169-4451.2021.37.41

Digital and analogue printing methods are studied for reconstructing a Mayan decorative relief from the ancient temple of the Jaguars. Height maps, image files encoding height information as intensity values, were produced in commercial image editing...

One and many: Wet-Collodion and Woodburytype (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Klein, S., & Elter, P. (2021). One and many: Wet-Collodion and Woodburytype. In Printing for Fabrication Online 2021 Final Program and Proceedings (37-40). https://doi.org/10.2352/ISSN.2169-4451.2021.37.37

The invention of photography in the 19 th century changed our perception of reality for ever. Without the interpretation of an artist, an image could be recorded within minutes representing 'unfiltered' reality. Besides the scientific challenge how t...

3D printing the Woodburytype – Plastic printing the plate or gel printing the image? (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Leech, D., Guy, W., & Klein, S. (in press). 3D printing the Woodburytype – Plastic printing the plate or gel printing the image?

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...

The reconstruction of the appearance of the Acancéh frieze by 2.5D printing (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Klein, S., Trujillo Vazquez, A., Calvet, X. A., & Parraman, C. (in press). The reconstruction of the appearance of the Acancéh frieze by 2.5D printing

The aim of the project is to reconstruct the appearance of the Maya frieze of the Palace of the Stuccoes in Acancéh Yucatán, dating from c. 350 BC to AD 850. The frieze itself is destroyed by now but was documented by Adela Breton in 1907. Her waterc... Read More about The reconstruction of the appearance of the Acancéh frieze by 2.5D printing.

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...
