Call for Papers--Image permanence

Call for Papers: Image Permanence Session
NIP16: IS&T's International Conference on Digital Printing
Technologies

NIP16, IS&T's 16th International Conference on Digital Printing
Technologies, sponsored by the Society for Imaging Science and
Technology, will take place at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in
Vancouver BC, Canada, October 15-20, 2000.  This year, for the first
time, the conference will include an Image Permanence session.  As
chair of the session, I would like to invite you to submit a
technical paper.  Abstracts are due April 14, 2000.  Proposed
session topics include (other topics are encouraged):

    *   Permanence considerations in the formulation of dye-based,
        pigmented, and dye-pigment hybrid inksets (both aqueous and
        solvent-based)

    *   Image stability considerations in media design

    *   Catalytic fading and ink-media interactions

    *   Influence of 4-ink, 6-ink, and 8-ink systems (and image
        structure) on image permanence

    *   Permanence of chromogenic color papers designed for digital
        imaging applications

    *   Permanence of thermal dye transfer (dye sublimation),
        xerographic, and other digital processes

    *   Permanence issues with textile and fabric printing

    *   Effects of liquid and film laminates on image permanence

    *   Test methods for evaluating light stability, dark stability,
        humidity-fastness, water-fastness, susceptibility to
        fingerprint damage, and resistance to the effects
        atmospheric pollutants

    *   Test methods for outdoor weathering--the role of
        performance warranties

    *   Densitometric vs. colorimetric methods for the evaluation of
        color fading

    *   ANSI, ISO, and ASTM standards activities related to the
        permanence of digitally printed images

As inkjet and other forms of digital printing continues its rapid
expansion into mainstream amateur, professional portrait and
wedding, and commercial photography markets, image permanence has
become an increasingly important topic.  People are displaying and
storing inkjet and other digital prints in the same ways that
traditional color photographs have always been used.  Questions are
increasingly being asked about how long prints made with these new
digital technologies will last, and how their permanence compare
with that of traditional color photographs.  I invite you to
participate in what is certain to be a very informative and exciting
session.

IS&T's International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies is
recognized worldwide as the preeminent forum for keeping up with new
directions and the latest advances in non-impact and digital
printing.  About 1,000 attendees, a Who's Who of the industry's key
players, will be on hand for a week of activities you can't afford
to miss: 200 invited and contributed papers and posters, a print
gallery, 30 tutorials, keynote addresses each day by industry
leaders, and networking with all the right people representing 350
companies and universities.  Included is an exhibition of
state-of-the-art technology that will put you in touch with 50 or
more suppliers representing all facets of digital printing.

Abstracts and Information to be submitted by authors
Deadline April 14, 2000

    *   Abstract of approximately 200 words. Clearly state the
        technical content of the paper and, if appropriate, identify
        what is new compared to previously presented or published
        material on the same topic.

    *   Author name(s), affiliation, address, telephone, fax, and
        email.

    *   75-word biographical sketch of the principal author.  Due to
        space limitations, a bio sketch of the principal author only
        should be submitted.

    *   Indication of preference (if any) for oral or interactive
        presentation. Author preferences will be accommodated
        whenever possible.

    *   Preferred session assignment (be sure to indicate "Image
        Permanence" session).

Oral presentations will be 20 minutes long, including a 5-minute
question period.  Interactive presentations will comprise a 5-minute
oral preview followed by a poster presentation with display boards.
Oral and interactive presentations are considered of equal
importance and merit, and the author's preference for one or the
other will be accommodated whenever possible.

Submit abstracts via IS&T's web site <www.imaging.org>.  The direct
URL to the abstract submission page is
<URL:http://www.imaging.org/newpapers/nip16/authors/>.
Authors without web access may use e-mail: <nip [at] imaging__org>, or fax
the abstract and other information to 703-642-9094.

Authors will be notified of acceptance by mid-May, 2000.  Completed
papers of approximately 4 pages must be submitted by July 14, 2000.
These papers will be printed in the Proceedings book, which will be
distributed at the conference.  Detailed instruction kits, including
order forms for audio visual equipment and other support, will be
sent upon acceptance.  Note that it will be the authors'
responsibility to obtain any necessary and appropriate clearances
from their companies.  Papers presented at NIP16 may also be
submitted for publication in one of IS&T's journals, the Journal of
Imaging Science and Technology, or the Journal of Electronic
Imaging, both of which are peer reviewed.  Contact IS&T for more
information.

Oral presentations will be 20 minutes long, including a 5-minute
question period.  Interactive presentations will be comprised of a
5-minute oral preview followed by a poster presentation with display
boards.  Oral and interactive presentations are considered of equal
importance and merit, and the author's preference for one or the
other will be accommodated whenever possible.  The conference
language is English.  Questions should be directed to the
Publications Chair, Dr. Mashiho Yuasa, <mashiho.yuasa [at] ipaper__com> or
513-248-6312 or you may also contact Henry Wilhelm,
<hwilhelm [at] aol__com> or 515-236-4284.

For those who might be curious as to what "NIP" in the conference
title refers to, it stands for "Non-Impact Printing", which harkens
back to the that earlier period of digital printing technology when
the first NIP conference took place 15 years ago.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver,
