The presentation will demonstrate how through alternative methods of digital print production the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) is developing methodologies for digital printing that attempt to move beyond standard reproductive print methods. Profiling is used for input and output hardware, along with bespoke profiling for fine art printmaking papers. Examples of artist’s work, and examp...

The 3D printing is a combination of digital technology, material science, intelligent manufacturing and control of opto-mechatronics systems. It is called the third industrial revolution from the view of the Economist Journal. A color 3D printing machine may provide the necessary support for high value-added industrial and commercial design, architectural design, personal boutique, and 3D artis...

A survey of digital print providers in the U.S was conducted to identify constraints and potential solutions for improved performance and quality of digitally printed papers. In printers’ decisions about which paper to purchase, the key factors were identified as runnability and print quality. The leading paper characteristics considered when making a purchase were found to be toner/ink adhesio...

Digital printing has the potential of enabling cleaner or even dyeing cotton fabrics. However, whilst effluent-free digital and synthetic textile fabrics have seen some success, same remain elusive for The study reported in this paper aimed to optimize process parameters cationic pre-treatment with a view creating fabric that could be sustainably implemented at bulk-scale production. Thus, vari...

Psychomotor slowing has been documented in depression. The digital Clock Drawing Test (dCDT) provides: (i) a novel technique to assess both cognitive and motor aspects of psychomotor speed within the same task and (ii) the potential to uncover subtleties of behavior not previously detected with non-digitized modes of data collection. Using digitized pen technology in 106 participants grouped by...

New kinds of documents such as handwritten online documents are emerging, which are produced by digital devices such as Tablet PC, personal handheld devices or digital paper coupled with digital pens. The rapid increase in the number of such handwritten online documents leads to mounting pressure on finding innovative solutions towards faster processing, indexing and retrieval of the documents ...

Printing systems of hydrographic organisations are systems of preparation/prepress and reproduction of sea charts and navigational publications. Different procedures (conventional and digital) indicate the necessity to optimise reproduction procedure ( T., Kasum, J., 2006). Conventional printing system refers to conventional cartographic processing of the original and copying procedures for pro...

Digital ink features drive recognition engines. Intuitively, we understand that particular features are of more value for some problems than others. Likewise, inclusion of poor features may be detrimental to recognition success. Many different ink features have been proposed for ink recognition, and most work well for the context that they are employed. However given a new problem it is not cle...

Due to increasing printing accuracies and the possibility of printing several droplets at the same pixel location, there is a renewed interest in dot-on-dot printing models. In the present contribution, we improve a dot-on-dot spectral prediction model relying on the Yule-Nielsen modified Spectral Neugebauer model by taking into account ink spreading in all ink superposition conditions. Since i...

The topic of photo-equality in hardcopy technologies has been widely discussed from the beginning of digital printing until today. Photographic quality prints can be made on desk-top printers with little compromises in permanence and performance. The paper compares the status of ink-jet prints in professional and desktop systems with commercial photography. The gamut of typical ink-jet dye and ...
