February 26, 2007: This year’s PMA Imaging Technology Expo and Convention, which takes place in Melbourne from 4-6 May will include two special sessions of particular interest to digital photographers.
On Sunday 6 May, Epson will sponsor the keynote address on the Print Technology day by renowned celebrity photographer, Greg Gorman. Under the title of “The Power of Imaging”, Greg will show and discuss his classic black-and-white imagery, as well as his philosophy of shooting digitally. He will also cover black-and-white conversion techniques, ways to enhance the black-and-white aspects of a colour capture using both Camera Raw and Photoshop, and demonstrate the Advanced Black and White Photo Mode in the Epson Print Driver using the UltraChrome K3 ink set.
Renowned image preservation expert, Henry Wilhelm of Wilhelm Imaging Research, will also present a special address on the afternoon of the same day. Wilhelm Imaging Research is an independent testing organization that conducts research on the stability and preservation of traditional and digital colour photographic media. It also publishes brand name-specific permanence data for desktop and large-format inkjet printers and other digital printing devices. In his address Henry will cover the longevity of an inkjet print vs a traditional RA4 print; the advantages of genuine vendor brand ink over third party inks and the consequences of using each; and how much impact UV light has on an inkjet print.
Both sessions are part of the PMA Convention but non-PMA members may attend the Sunday sessions for a fee of $95, which includes entry to exhibition. Pre-booking is required. For more information visit www.photimagingworld.com.au.
