<p>A system and method for preparing animal skins such as leather for the receipt of a reproduced image, including a photographic image. The preparation includes the cleaning (7) of the animal skin (1) to remove waxes using a lacquer thinner (8), the drying of the animal skin (1), and the application of a pliable paint material (11) to provide a base (10) for the image transfer. The system and method described herein also includes the use of a transfer medium (21), such as transfer paper, to which a reproduced image (22) is adhered until released by heat and pressure to the pliable paint material. In addition to heating and application of pressure, the system calls for a burnishing process (9) to ensure a complete transfer of the image to the targeted portion of the animal skin.</p> |
