  • METHOD FOR PRINTING ONTO COLOURED SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20100039658
    Abstract: A method for printing an electronic image comprising a plurality of pixels onto a substrate using a computer-assisted image processing system, said method comprising the step of using alpha channel information in combination with substrate color information to calculate the transparency level that needs to be applied to each pixel.
    Type: Application

  • Method for printing unidirectional and see-through graphics
    Patent number: 7384669
    Abstract: A convenient, time-efficient, easy-to-use method for creating a substrate covering comprising graphic images, such that the substrate covering can be substantially opaque to an observer looking from one side of the substrate (allowing him to see an image), yet the observer is able to see through the substrate covering from the other side of the substrate, or such that an observer would be able to see the images as well as objects beyond the substrate, comprising the steps of (1) creating an outline for the substrate covering; (2) creating at least one artwork; (3) launching a window wizard, which allows a user to select the position of the covering with respect to the substrate; at least one artwork; and at least one primer in accordance with the desired visual effects; (4) selecting the position of the covering with respect to the substrate; at least one artwork; and at least one primer in accordance with the desired visual effects; and (5) sending the window wizard output for printing onto a substantially c
