Abstract

This paper aims to provide a critical and contextual analysis of research conducted together with Martin Smith at the Royal College of Art in the field of ceramic printmaking during 2015–2018, and the subsequent reflections upon the four years since as we have continued to implement the research as a commercial print studio. Over these seven years, I was a senior research associate on the two AHRC-funded research projects: Extending the Potential for the Digitally Printed Ceramic Surface and Improved Laser Printing Equipment for Ceramics, and design director for the spin-out ceramic design project, the print company Smith&Brown. Digital design, combined with electrophotographic laser printing technology, has the potential to open up new market models and extend the visual language of ceramic tableware design but it has hit several barriers causing it to be dismissed by the ceramic industry, weak deposits and poor colour saturation being the most significant of these. Our research has contributed to resolving these issues by developing several technical innovations. These improvements have convinced key players within the industry; however, other barriers to the acceptance/implementation of the technology remain. This has led us to question this context and revise our original aims for industrial uptake, and identify new models more appropriate to the exploration of the market for the uptake of our research findings.
从局到微型产业
本文旨在对 2015-2018 年期间与马丁-史密斯(Martin Smith)在皇家艺术学院共同开展的陶瓷版画领域的研究进行批判性分析和背景分析,并对此后四年我们作为商业版画工作室继续开展研究的情况进行反思。在这七年中,我是两个由英国皇家艺术研究中心(AHRC)资助的研究项目的高级研究助理:在这七年中,我是两个由英国皇家卫生研究中心(AHRC)资助的研究项目的高级助理研究员,这两个研究项目分别是:扩展数字印刷陶瓷表面的潜力和改进陶瓷激光印刷设备,同时我也是独立出来的陶瓷设计项目--印刷公司 Smith&Brown 的设计总监。数字设计与电子照相激光打印技术相结合,有可能开辟新的市场模式,并扩展陶瓷餐具设计的视觉语言,但它遇到了一些障碍,导致陶瓷行业对其不屑一顾,其中最主要的是沉积薄弱和色彩饱和度差。我们的研究通过开发多项技术创新,为解决这些问题做出了贡献。这些改进已经说服了行业内的主要参与者;然而,该技术的接受/实施仍然存在其他障碍。这促使我们对这一背景提出质疑,并修改了我们最初的产业化目标,确定了更适合探索市场的新模式,以吸收我们的研究成果。
