Colored paper is appealing because it offers a depth of color that cannot be achieved by printing alone.
This exhibition presents an experiment at printing art photography on colored paper,
an unusual choice for multicolor printing. This approach creates value and potential for printing
that goes further than simple reproduction. The result is “New Printing,” an exciting crossover
between photography, design, and printing.
