Print Production Automation Lab

Goal

Drive the analog-to-digital transformation in commercial printing by automating digital print production and taking advantage of the unique capabilities of digital printing.

Impact

Simplify and automate the production of high-value printed materials. Revolutionize the creation of print so that it is as dynamic an information medium as the Internet.

Research

We have deep expertise in print architectures, web applications, color science, imaging, computer science, and electrical and mechanical systems. We will apply this expertise to enabling automated color management, print inspection systems, web-enabled printing systems, scaleable high-speed RIP technologies, simplified remote proofing, automated job management and scheduling, machine vision inspection of print, and production-flow modeling and architectures.
