| The Significance of Imaging Chemistry in the New World of Digital Photography |
Abstract
Over the past decade, photography has evolved from
traditional light-sensitive silver halide emulsions to a variety of
digital technologies, including inkjet, dye sublimation, and
electrophotography. The transition to digital photography has led many
new products, including customized photo books and other gifts. The
production of these products relies on combinations of three or more
colorants, including cyan, magenta, and yellow, with the exact
combination dependent on the product requirements.
Stability and
image quality of photographic products depend on the chemistry of the
underlying materials. Heat, humidity, air pollution, and light exposure
control how long specific products will last. Photo gifts must also be
durable and abrasion resistant. This presentation will highlight the
significance of imaging chemistry and the resulting product performance
in the new world of digital photography.
