Ten students from the RIT Technical Association of the Graphic Arts (TAGA) student chapter attended and competed at the 60th annual TAGA Technical Conference held in San Francisco, California from March 16th-19th, 2008.
With a total of 179, this year's conference had a record attendance in recent years. Students represented 73 of the total conference attendees--also a record number. Twelve student chapters were represented, with seven competing in the 2008 student chapter publication competition.
Overall, the RIT technical publication received the most accolades from the judges of the competition with a total of three. The publication received the excellence in publication design award, the coveted attendee’s choice award, and the Dusty Rhodes Graduate Paper award.
The Dusty Rhodes Graduate Paper award was received by recent graduate student, Kathryn O. Cole, for her paper titled, “Printability and Environmental Testing Using Silver-based Conductive Flexographic Ink Printed on a Polyamide Substrate.”
RIT chapter Vice-President, Cristina Stoll, also exhibited her innovative work titled, “Analysis of Spatial Uniformity and Temporal Consistency for the Heidelberg Anicolor Inking System” during student poster sessions. RIT student, Brian Gamm, served as a co-author of the work which was advised by adjunct professor Franz Sigg.
Over the span of the conference, RIT chapter members networked with industry professionals and other students with a passion for the graphic arts. They also attended technical focus sessions, tutorials and keynote speakers about emerging technologies.
