About Program

Program Overview

The Surface Imaging Non-Degree Graduate Coursework program provides specialized training in digital printing technologies for various surfaces. Offered as a series of short courses with a hybrid learning format, the program covers topics such as textile printing, hard surface printing, and digital color management. It prepares students for careers in surface imaging and related fields.

Program Outline

Outline:

The Surface Imaging Non-Degree Graduate Coursework program is a hybrid program consisting of 12 credits. It is offered as a series of short courses related to specialty digital printing technologies for surface imaging. Each course is 1.5 credits and designed to be completed in one weekend. All courses are conducted at the Center for Excellence in Surface Imaging, a state-of-the-art advanced specialty digital printing lab at Jefferson.

Course Structure:

All courses are a combination of experiential and theoretical learning offered in accelerated 3-day stints during weekends (with the option to be offered in the evening hours on weekdays).

Course Modules:

MSSI 501: Digital Textile Printing (wet and dry processes)
MSSI 502: Hard Surface Digital Printing (2.5 D printing)
MSSI 503: Digital Printing for Flexible Substrates (wallpaper, cling, print/cut)
MSSI 504: Digital Color Management (theory and hands-on)
MSSI 505: Printing Technology (Online lecture)
MSSI 506: Surface Imaging Design
MSSI 550: Surface Imaging Pattern Design (semester long)

Future Course Offerings:

MSSI 5XX: 3D printing basics
MSSI 5XX: Printer service and maintenance

Other:

Surface Imaging + Research offers students the opportunity to develop imagery for various physical forms using a variety of printing technologies. Students will explore direct surface imaging on diverse porous and non-porous substrates. Fabrication printing, including material subtraction and deposition printing technologies (laser and 3D printing), has also become a significant part of the discipline.
