Afternoon session

1.30 pm Colour measurement for profile creation
Phil Green, London College of Communication

Phil Green is a Reader in Colour Imaging at the London College of Communication in the UK, where he runs the MSc in Digital Colour Imaging. He joined LCC after a period working in the printing industry in London. Phil has an MSc from the University of Surrey and a PhD from the Colour & Imaging Institute at the University of Derby. He has written and edited several books on colour and the graphic arts, including Understanding Digital Color and Colour Engineering.

2.15 pm Flexible colour management for graphic arts
Craig Revie, FFEI UK

Craig Revie has been with FFEI (formerly Fujifilm Electronic Imaging) since January 2001 where he is a Principal Consultant to the RIP and workflow development group.
