Workshop on digital prints

Digital print workshop
Rochester Institute of Technology
22-25 October, 2015

The Image Permanence Institute is pleased to announce that it will
be accepting application for its third annual Digital Print Workshop
to be held 22-25 October, 2015 at our facilities at the Rochester
Institute of Technology.  The workshop is designed especially for
library, archive, and museum collection care professionals
responsible for the long-term preservation of digitally-printed
materials including books, documents, photographs, fine art,
ephemera, etc.

Who should apply: Curators, registrars, archivists, conservators,
librarians, catalogers, and collection managers responsible for the
long-term preservation of digitally-printed materials.  Conservators
in private practice are also welcome to attend.

Content: Under the definitions specifically created for IPI's
Digital Print Preservation Portal Project (DP3 project), this
workshop will deal with electrophotographic prints (laser
prints/Xerographic prints/EP), dye sub prints (dye sublimation
prints/dye diffusion thermal transfer prints/D2T2 prints) and inkjet
prints (Giclee/Iris print/"archival pigment print").
Electrophotographic prints and inkjet prints will be dealt with both
as photographic objects (or photo-like objects) and graphic
documents.

The workshop topics include:

    What is a digital print?

    The history of digital printing

    The technologies behind the most popular digital printing
    devices

    The variety of digital print formats

    How to identify digital print types through swatch books,
    identified samples, and unknown samples.  Exercises will be used
    to reinforce lessons.

    Types of deterioration through demonstrations, lectures, and
    class discussion with some examples from IPI's collection.

    Recommended best practices based on IPI's most recent research

    Naming conventions

At the conclusion of the workshop, each student will receive a
binder with all class handouts as well as print sample sets to take
home.

Tuition: Due to a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, there is no cost for tuition, notebooks, supplies or
samples.  However, participants will be responsible for travel,
lodging, and meals.

Application: Since attendance is limited to 15 participants, we are
asking that applications be submitted for consideration.

Attendees will be selected based on order of receipt as well as the
need for a diversity of institution types, institutional roles, and
geographic representation.  Early application is highly recommended.

Notification of decisions will be made by April 30, 2015.
