Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is an internationally renowned technology university with a research tradition dating back to 1829.
Imaging Products Laboratory (IPL) was established for the purposes of development, evaluation and adaptation of cost-effective and innovative imaging technologies.
IPL's laboratories include controlled environment chambers where the desired UV spectrum is achieved using xenon arc lamps and the level of ozone, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure can be precisely set. The quality of print is measured using a dedicated system and the inks tested are analysed for their physical and chemical properties.
