  1. Looking for someone to paint directly on a brick wall in Phila

    I don't know. You tell me. Give me the range/project

  2. Looking for someone to paint directly on a brick wall in Phila

    Just for sh*ts and grins, what were the prices from yesteryear that people used to pay. Geniunely curious

  3. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    UV gel (thick viscosity)

  4. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    Yes absolutely, It's a harder task to justify the increased expense due to the time + ink vs a single pass inkjet print. I'd like to see a RIP or printer manufacture come up with a structural pattern (Like a 3D printer's infill) specifically for building up UV ink fast and efficiently. A...

  5. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    The 2.5D print capabilities are already here... everything you need is all available. However, it does consume way more ink... which means you have to charge the premium prices for textural relief... and on my Roland.. it's also SLOW

  6. Open-Source Inkjet Printer Project

    So.... how does the Open Source progress begin? Who is going to spearhead this project? A fun topic to discuss... I've been waiting for the Open Source printer for well over 2 decades...

  7. Open-Source Inkjet Printer Project

    The i3200 is only a 600 dpi resolution. Way too low these days... and the price is almost the same as 7900/9000 print head. @ Resolution: 2880 x 1440 dpi, 1440 x 1440 dpi, 1440 x 720 dpi, 720 x 720 dpi, 720 x 360 dpi, 360 x 360 dpi i3200 head: The I3200 printhead has three models such as...

  8. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    Sounds cool. I'm guessing the 3D surface you milled was a generic wood texture? Or did you 3D scan existing boards and replicate? Was the inkjet print also a generic wood fill image, or did you perfectly match and register custom photographic images to the 2.5D boards?

  9. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    Hmmmm.. what kind of gadgets?

  10. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    Akuarela: Thanks, those are nice samples. Very similar to what I'm producing as well. Currently, I can only max out at 1mm height of ink... so it's definitely visible, but I wish I could get at least 2 - 3mm of height clearance before head strikes occur. Vassago: Yes, I've seen that...

  11. Open-Source Inkjet Printer Project

    For me, the goal would be to have the open source printer allow 2 variants: 1. 12 - 16 color channels/heads. Bulk ink system. This would allow more primaries and a larger color gamut. Roll printer is fine, as this system would take fine art papers and photographic papers. Width of 64" to...

  12. Longest lasting digital print?

    Epson Ultrachrome HDX inks are going to the be longest archival non fugitive inks on fine art papers. There's no other 3rd party accelerated light testing for the other inks (UV, Solvent, EcoSolvent, Dye Sublimation, Latex, etc) that shows legit data. There is some sketchy marketing that...

  13. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    Nice, yeah I figured other flatbeds can do this... as essentially you are just running multiple files on top of each other. The most I've stacked, 12 layers.

  14. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    Currently, I'm using a Roland UV printer to generate the dimensional relief. However, a CNC router makes sense to carve away the relief and then print directly to the surface or wrap. If the depth isn't too great, I'd think a heat wrapped vinyl could be a nice short term application. SwissQ...

  15. 3D surface scanning and textural/dimensional relief inkjet printing

    So I've started 3D scanning surfaces of painting and materials.. and then doing a 2.5D dimensional inkjet print. Curious if anyone else is looking into this, already making prints like this, etc etc Similar to how Artcam might build a BasRelief, but instead, I'm using raster data to create the...
