Production of electronic originals calling for color publication has been growing due to steadily decreasing cost of color capable personal computers, software, and the ever increasing usage of the Internet as a source of color images and documents. This in turn has promoted development of technologies necessary for affordable color peripherals. In commercial publishing applications, advances in both digital image processing and printing now enable short run color printing ready to challenge high quality offset. This conference provides an opportunity for presenting, as well as getting acquainted with the most recent developments in the related technologies and applications. It covers hardware, software, media, and systems.
Special attention is given to applications and requirements created by new disciplines.
In deciding where to submit their papers, potential authors are advised to also consider such closely related EI 2000 conferences as the conference on Human Vision and Electronic Imaging V and Internet Imaging.
