Author Information

Susanne Klein is a physicist by training and has worked as a Royal Society Research Associate at the University of Bristol, and then as a Senior Research Scientist at Hewlett Packard Labs Bristol. With her expertise in colloidal chemistry, optics and 3D printing, she is working on the reinvention of old printing technologies, such as Woodburytype and Lippmann photography, which will allow production of high-quality prints for advertising, packaging, fashion and, at the same time, include fake-proof security features. Carinna Parraman’s understanding of 2.5D printing has evolved through her training in fine art print-making. She is Professor of Design Colour and Printing and Director at the Centre for Fine Print Research. She has in-depth knowledge of traditional colour mixing, colour printing and photomechanical printing processes. She collaborates with many different sectors including industry, heritage and fine-art print.
