About this book
Principles of Image Printing Technology is a unique review of technology use in the printing industry since the time of the medieval engravers and busy newsroom typesetters. It provides a historical review of the advancement of technology and describes in-depth both technical fundamentals and industrial procedures. Intended primarily for students in graphic communications programs, this book includes all the necessary background for understanding printing technology. In addition, by providing findings from basic research studies and industrial processes that have been omitted elsewhere in published volumes, it offers a useful guide to researchers and professionals in the printing industry.
