PROVIDING AN IMAGE ON AN ORGANIC PRODUCT

摘要

Systems and methods for providing an image on an organic product to provide a communication to the recipient or otherwise individualize the organic product. The image is photo-etched into a photosensitive material 12 of a printing plane or cliché 10 by the use of a film positive. Ink is applied to the cliché and transfer medium 22 and 24 is placed in contact with the cliché. The transfer medium lifts ink from the image area of the cliché and creates a negative image on the medium. The transfer medium transfers the inked image onto an organic product, such as a flower petal 32 or leaf. The printed image 80 is then set so as to remain on the organic product to communicate a message to and/or to individualize the product for the intended recipient.
