Presentation / Conference
Klein, S. (2020, November). Now you see it, and Now you don’t: Illusive colour. Presented at Twenty-eighth Color and Imaging Conference, Online

Colour, as beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder. In 1861, based on the RGB model of colour perception, James Clerk Maxwell produced the first colour photographs by exposing black and white film through red, green and blue filters, thus recording i...

Continuous tone relief prints in gelatin – The Woodburytype (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Leech, D., Guy, W., & Klein, S. (2020, July). Continuous tone relief prints in gelatin – The Woodburytype

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...

Woodburytype: a forgotten 19th century photomechanical process and its 21st century resurrection (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Klein, S. (2020, June). Woodburytype: a forgotten 19th century photomechanical process and its 21st century resurrection

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
Leech, D., Guy, W., & Klein, S. (2020, March). Continuous Tone Printing from Gel Matrices - The Woodburytype

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.

How to print a rainbow (2020)
