RPS Imaging Science Group

In a past life I spent a lot of time working on photo based optical data storage technologies. I still retain an interest in this and follow the conference calls. The next SPIE meeting on this caught my eye – see http://spie.org//app/program/index.cfm?fuseaction=conferencedetail&export_id=&ID=x15617&redir=x15617.xml&conference_id=910353&event_id=910325&WT.mc_id=RODS102QAE . I note a paper looking at Lippmann technolgy – an old photo technique for holography. Let’s not forget about the knowledge we have accumulated from AgX photography!

Bond and cast coat papers from a SEM

Getting into some more inkjet media issues. This is an SEM image of 2 types of paper used in early inkjet media. The bond paper has a rougher surface but the cast coated product contained a network of cracks. This made a big difference to the printing characteristics.

Busy day yesterday. In addition to an RPS Imaging Science Group meeting I had an email about a Printed Electronics Summit in San Jose – see  here for details. Looks like an interesting meeting – I may see you there!

Some time ago I wrote about this meeting. The Institute of Physics Printing and Graphics Science Group in collaboration with the University of the Arts London MATAR Centre (see http://www.matar.co.uk/) organises a periodic International conference entitled “Preservation and Conservation Issues in Digital Printing and Digital Photography”. Registration is now open at http://ppp10.iopconfs.org/Registration/page_37015.html.
