ARTHUR S. DIAMOND
Curriculum Vitae

Art Diamond is a 52-year veteran of the imaging industry, having worked in this field continuously since 1955. He is currently President of Diamond Research Corporation (DRC), a high technology consulting and chemical engineering firm he formed in April 1968 specializing in imaging materials development, manufacturing, and marketing. DRC tracks industry markets and technology for its clients through a number of special reports.

Diamond is also Chairman of The Tiara Group, LLC a trade show management firm spun off of DRC on July 1, 2001 to perpetuate a series of interactive Imaging Materials Seminars® held domestically, and trade shows in the US, Australia, China, Europe and Mexico.

Prior to forming DRC, Diamond was engaged in research & development at Eastman Kodak's Paper Service Division and at Kodak Research Laboratories in Rochester, New York from 1955 to 1960. He later was named Chief Chemist for the Times Facsimile Division of Litton Industries in New York City from 1960 to 1961. This led to appointments as Research Manager at AM International in Mt. Prospect, IL from 1961 to 1967 and as Chief Chemist at Telautograph Corporation in Los Angeles.

For five years, Diamond served as President of the Los Angeles-based Consulting Chemists Association. He is a licensed Professional Engineer with a BS in chemical engineering from the Polytechnic University of New York in 1951, and an MS in chemical engineering from the University of Rochester, NY in 1958.

Diamond holds 15 US patents in the field of reprography. He has authored more than 70 articles, talks, and publications relating to imaging materials and processes. He is Editor of the reference text, Handbook of Imaging Materials first published in July 1991 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.; the Second Edition was released in January 2002. He is also co-author of the chapter on ?Copier Powders? that appears in Vol. 7: Powder Metallurgy of the Metals Handbook published by the American Society for Metals in 1984.

Diamond is known internationally as an expert on dry toner technology, having authored several focused studies in this field, including: Toner, Black Powder for an Exploding Market (1979), Toner Resins, Structure of the US Market (1987), Toner in the '90s (1991), and numerous other private marketing and technical reports on toner and developer materials.
