  • Publication number: 20060172120
    Abstract: An original work of art, and its method of manufacture, requires a substrate on which layers of viscous ink are sequentially applied to create a plurality of visual contrasts. Each contrast may have its own predetermined number of ink layers. A color print layer is then applied over the contrasts to create the work of art. Importantly, each layer of viscous ink is individually applied, and is individually cured with UV radiation, before a subsequent layer is applied. In this process, each layer may contribute to one or more contrasts. The color print layer is then applied using a computerized color printer.

  • Publication number: 20050188870
    Abstract: A reproduction of an original work of art is created to include the textural and tonal contrasts of the original. Specifically, the reproduction incorporates various layers of different materials in a predetermined order. First, is the base substrate. Next, a relief layer having ink deposits that correspond to the contrasts of the original are applied to the substrate. A computerized color print layer is then combined with the relief layer to create the reproduction. For substrates having a reflective surface, a white layer can be added between the substrate and the relief layer to selectively reduce reflectivity in the reproduction.

  • Publication number: 20050042429
    Abstract: An original work of art incorporates various layers of different materials in a predetermined order. First, is the base substrate. Next, a relief layer having UV curable ink deposits that present textural and tonal contrasts for the work of art are applied to the substrate. A computerized color print layer is then combined with the relief layer to create the work of art. For substrates having a reflective surface, a white layer can be added between the substrate and the relief layer to selectively reduce reflectivity in the work of art.
