Research Areas

Emphasizing Sloan's long-standing tradition of applying a broad, multidisciplinary approach to industry investigation and findings, the Printing Industry Center is a joint program of the School of Print Media (part of the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences) and the E. Philip Saunders College of Business at RIT. Expert faculty from these departments comprise the cadre of researchers that build and carry out the research initiatives adopted by the Center.

The research agenda is built through collaboration between Center researchers and representatives of the Industry Partners, resulting in research that is cross-disciplinary and highly relevant to industry concerns.
