Cameras and Scanners
Evaluation of electronic and optical performance of cameras and scanners, along with defining optimum setup to maximize final image quality.
Color - Science and Art
Experience with industry standard such as ICC, G7 and Pantone, and worked with custom company specific solutions. The goal is always the same: good color.
Image Processing
There are countless ways to adjust images, and the details of doing specifically what is needed, in the right order, without extra steps is important to a effective, robost solution.
Printers
Started my career in the era of traditional photographic chemistry integrated with digital equipment. Today work with photo quality equipment across a range of technologies including inkjet and screen printing, while using aqueous, latex and UV inks.
Research
The best solutions come from research and an understanding of the details. I bring a broad range of experience to define an efficient and methodical approach to research.
Integration
Having the best equipment for youd needs is the beginning. Connecting the equipment throughout the system to get maximum performance is an equally imporrtant step. Broad experience is needed for success.
Training
Once the engineers have put together the system, effective training is needed for the people who will be using it on a daily basis. Traning requires translating that engineering plan into clear instructions.
Video
Since 1994 I have provided video services to the Unifversity of Minnesota Marching Band. In the beginning this was stand alone from my work in the graphics art industry, but the technolgie have migrated together and are often complimentary in the world today.
