An exploration of low relief structure printing through the development of a novel full colour continuous tone plastographic printing method (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Mc Callion, P. (2014, October). An exploration of low relief structure printing through the development of a novel full colour continuous tone plastographic printing method. Paper presented at Fifth International Conference on the Image, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

A traditional halftone print is created by translating the image into a series of dots of various sizes that convey the illusion of tone when printed. The carbon process and the Woodburytype process are a special kind of continuous tone image known a...

Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices (2014)
Journal Article
Hoskins, S., & McCallion, P. (2014). Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2043123

Current research at the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) at the University of the West of England, Bristol, is exploring the potential of creating coloured pictorial imagery from a continuous tone relief surface. To create the printing matrices... Read More about Continuous tone printing in silicone from CNC milled matrices.

The development of methods for the reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks (2014)
Book Chapter
McCallion, P. (2014). The development of methods for the reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks. In P. L. Harrison, E. Shemilt, & A. Watson (Eds.), Borders and Crossings: The Artist as Explorer. Dundee: Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee

Currently the reproduction of digitally printed works is divided between onscreen (RGB) representation of colour and the colorimetric translation through an imaging pipeline to a printing device (CMYK). As computational models for image analysis are... Read More about The development of methods for the reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks.
