IPI has created a set of teaching materials for previous attendees of IPI’s Digital Print Preservation workshops to use to pass on their new knowledge and skills to their institutional colleagues. Since this content is a summary of the workshops, a basic knowledge of the content from having attended one is mandatory. Included in the set is a PowerPoint presentation and a recommended reading list.
This video was created as part of IPI’s Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Recovery for Inkjet Printed Materials in Museum Collections project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It illustrates what will happen to different types of inkjet prints immediately upon exposure to water. It should be noted that prints that are not harmed after only one second might still become damaged after hours or days submerged. This video demonstrates how extremely sensitive to water some print types are.
