The Centre for Fine Print Research

The main focus of research at the Centre for Fine Print Research stems from the close relationships that exist between technology, ideas and making in the arts and crafts - particularly in the area of digitally assisted print and its many offshoots. Although our research is primarily initiated from a fine art perspective, it is clearly acknowledged that print is inexorably linked to industrial development. As a consequence much of our research has crossover applications for industry.

The Centre is committed to the dissemination of its research - through education, training, professional practice, collaborative projects, conferences, exhibitions, industrial collaboration and publication.
