During the mid-1990s Mitchell moved from the Watson Research Center to a different IBM group in Vermont and then (after a short leave as a visiting professor at the University of Illinois) to IBM's Printing Systems Division in Colorado.[3][4] In 2007 IBM sold their Printing Systems Division to Ricoh,[9] and Mitchell went with them to the resulting joint venture, InfoPrint Solutions. She retired in 2009,[10] and died on December 2, 2015.[2]
