Program
Surface Imaging + Research offers students the opportunity to develop imagery for various physical forms using a variety of printing technologies. Students will explore direct surface imaging on diverse porous and non-porous substrates. Fabrication printing, including material subtraction and deposition printing technologies (laser and 3D printing), has also become a significant part of the discipline.
Surface Imaging Advanced Practice coursework offers a series of short courses related to the specialty digital printing technologies for surface imaging. Each course consists of 1.5 credits, designed to complete in one weekend. All courses are conducted at the Center for Excellence in Surface Imaging, the state-of-the-art advanced specialty digital printing labs at Jefferson
