The Color Printing Revolution: Productivity! Creativity! Quality!

Description

Digital technology produced astonishing advances in prepress productivity, unleashing many creative possibilities and image quality improvements. Progress in printing technologies also raised color quality and productivity. Today's subsequent availability of inexpensive, high-quality color images, has greatly enriched us all. Author Gary G. Field's account of modern color printing's evolution has four areas of emphasis: The Photomechanical Era The Electronic Imaging Upheaval Color Printing's Progress The Art-Technology Partnership Sections at the end of key chapters include image structure enlargements from representative color prints. These show how different structural elements and their configuration contributed to quality refinement over the years. Appendices explain the nature of print quality and the tradeoffs often made between one facet of quality and another. This book is intended for the technically-curious reader. Graphic arts personnel, color imaging scientists and engineers, historians of technology and amateur producers of color prints will find much to delight, entertain, and perhaps inspire. Published by The Graphic Communication Institute at Cal Poly and distributed by RIT Press.
