From digital image capture to final inkjet output, this course is designed to give students a thorough understanding of all aspects of image management and printing. Through lectures, demonstrations and supervised usage, students gain practical, hands-on experience with digital imaging and the production of inkjet technology, printers and paper.

Graduate students explore advanced technical controls of the printmaking workflows of digital imaging. Students experience input and output variances that affect the final print. Analysis and adjustment is expected in every stage of image production from black-and-white to color printing.

Through working with a digital fabric printer as the output for their designs, students will learn the vernacular of this new technology. Students will use various software applications to design and print fabric samples and yardages for a variety of end-uses. Technical considerations and design possibilities will be explored.

This course focuses on the development of the creative and technical skills necessary to print fabric for both commercial and fine art applications. Various printing media are explored, including opaque and transparent pigments, thickened dyes and discharge pastes. Hand-cut, direct and photomechanical stencils are used. Students are encouraged to be experimental and inventive in their approach to the media and processes.
