DIRECT TEXTURE PRINT PRODUCTION

摘要

Systems and methods for allowing a user to create a texture on a substrate while printing in line with inks are disclosed. An image of a desired texture may be provided, and the contrast levels may be adjusted to make the dark areas very dark and the light areas very light. The adjusted image of the texture may be provided to a press as one or more texture image layers. A color image layer may also be provided to the press. The press may print the texture image layers on the substrate first, allowing the ink to build up to create the texture. The final color image layer may then be printed on top of the texture image layers. The printed substrate may be folded to create a final image product, such as a gallery wrap for hanging on a wall.

主权项

1. A system for creation of texture on a substrate by printing with layers of ink, the system comprising:
a. a computer device comprising a memory, user interface, and an image editing module, wherein the image editing module is configured to allow a user to adjust properties of an image and output an adjusted image; and b. a press configured with at least one printer head; wherein the press is configured to print ink on the substrate in a single pass, while allowing the ink to build up in a pattern to create a desired texture corresponding to the adjusted image.
