Showcase: Image Color Separation for RISO Printing
Image Color Separation for RISO Printing
Project/Showcase @ Kulturverein zur Schießhalle
Sunday 30 Nov
16:00 ‑ 17:00
Project description
A key step in RISO printing is the preparation of black and white image files such that printing each in its own color and overlaying them produces a colorful print result. The process of preparing the individual image files can be called “image color separation”. During the d*sign week 2023, I learned that the availability of software for color separation could not be taken for granted. The proprietary Adobe Photoshop, or the open-source ImageMagick and Krita, can separate images into CMYK color channels. The proprietary but free-of-use Spectrolite can separate images into arbitrary color palettes, but it only runs on Mac computers. In my talk, I will present my prototype for image color separation, as well as a few results obtained with it. The software is implemented in the open-source Julia programming language and could potentially be made available to the public as an open-source project.
