history of digital fine-art printing

2006-02-09 by hjswim2@aol.com

Hello Gang,

At the urging of several colleagues, I'm posting my books' history of digital 
fine-art printing for the first time on my site:
http://www.dpandi.com/history
The only thing you're missing are the pictures (which are half the fun!) and 
the "Computers, Art, and Printmaking" sidebar timeline (from 1946). The 
"Giclée: the True  Story" is already there and linked.

I boast on my home page that this is the "definitive" history. At least, I 
haven't seen one better or more complete. Let me know if you disagree or have 
anything to add. For those of you with my First Edition of the "Mastering 
Digital Printing" book, I added Jon Cone up front in this section in the Second 
Edition. I know there were a couple of other individuals experimenting in the old 
days, but these are the main players as I see them.

Enjoy it.

Harald
