Summary: This conference aims to bring together a wide range of experience and expertise to expand the vocabulary on the broad subject of printed ink on paper – imagery and text, historic and modern. The conference organizers invite papers from a diverse group of professionals who study and care for printed media including curators, conservators, historians, librarians and conservation scientists. Possible subjects include artworks, commercial and reproductive processes, maps, illustrations, prints that imitate photographs, text, and computer generated media.

Presentations will explore the following:

-Materials and production of printed media
- Historical or cultural context of printed media
- Commercial context of printed media
- Studies of commercial printing processes
- Printed media that imitate, or reproduce, other media such as photographs, paintings or even other prints
- Conservation treatment of printed media
- Analog and digital printing technologies
- Intersection between traditionally distinct media such as photography and printmaking
- State-of-the-art in printing and printmaking
- Concepts about what constitutes an original, an edition, a matrix

The conference is a coordinated effort by the American Institute for Conservation Book and Paper Group and the MA Conservation of Fine Art Program, School of Arts and Social Sciences, Northumbria University.
