First announcement and call for papers
Second International Conference on:
Preservation and Conservation Issues Related to Digital Printing and
Digital Photography.
A two-day conference for conservators of print and textiles.
3rd & 4th April 2003
Following our successful conference entitled Preservation and Conservation
Issues Related to Digital Printing which was held at the Institute of
Physics in October 2000*, we are staging a second two day conference to
examine progress in research on inks, substrates and processes used for
producing digital prints and photographs for archival storage. As well as
digitally printed materials from the world of fine arts, the growth of
digital photography is now introducing new photographic media into the
archival system. The aims of this conference are to inform those
responsible for the preservation of digitally printed material about
developments in digital photography and printing technologies, the progress
in research on inks and substrates and their significance for conservation
and preservation issues. As with the last conference our aim is also to
develop links between industry and the preservation world.
Once again, the conference will be jointly organised by the London College
of Printing and Camberwell College of Arts, (The London Institute, England
), together with the Printing, Papermaking and Packaging Group of the
Institute of Physics, and in association with the Institute of Paper
Conservation. It will again be held at the Institute of Physics Conference
Centre in Portland Place, London. The event is aimed at an international
audience of conservators, preservation personnel, conservation scientists,
photographers, the digital printing industry and ink and paper R&D
departments.
Research areas explored in this conference will include: developments in
the digital printing and photography technologies and future trends;
developments in materials for digital printing and photography including
textiles, plastics, papers for both fine art and digital photography;
colorants and their stability; developments in testing and standards for
light fastness.
This is a call for technical and research papers and expressions of
interest. Poster presentations are also invited. There will be an
associated Trade exhibition. Please submit a synopsis of about 100 words by
31st May 2002 to: Professor Robert Thompson, School of Printing and
Publishing, London College of Printing, Elephant and Castle, London SE1
6SB.
