Method for forming an image in stone |
| 摘要 |
A method of imbedding an image in a stone substrate includes printing an image onto a first surface of the stone substrate. Optionally, a moist towel is placed over the first surface of the stone substrate and a weight is placed over the moist towel then time is provided for the inks of the image to transfer from the print image into the surface of the stone substrate, sublimating into the stone. If provided, the moist towel and the print image are then removed and the above steps are repeated until the image is imbedded into the stone substrate. |

1. A method of imbedding an image in a stone substrate, the method comprising:
(a) printing an image onto a first planar surface of a stone by transferring inks directly from a printer to the first planar surface of the stone without the inks being deposited on an intermediate medium; (b) placing a moist towel over the print image; (c) placing a weight over the moist towel; (d) providing time inks from the image to transfer into the surface of the stone substrate; (e) removing the moist towel; (f) repeating steps a-e until the image is imbedded into the stone substrate. |
