From: Dave on 26 Jul 2010 01:36 At a show, a Garden and Home show, which I visited yesterday, I saw Fine Art Prints being printed on wood. Or at least, that is the impression. It certainly is not paintings, but photos with the edges roughed up, so to create the impression of paintings. It may be artificial wood, but the question still remains. Any one with an idea how this could be done?

Printing is usually done on specially prepared materials. A coating on the material is used to keep the ink. That means that the underlying material can be anything, including wood. -- Johan W.

Thanks Johan, and sorry for this late reply but I went to my office minutes after posting this message. I am still curious how it can be printed on something like wood. The only printers I know of, can print on nothing else than paper. I have formerly seen somewhere an ad for making prints on ceramic tiles. Prints are done on Venetian blinds. Now on wood. What kind of equipment or printers are used there for?

My large format printer can print on canvas and carton as well. Another possibiliy is to use wax transfer. http://www.instructables.com/id/Printing-colour-images-on-to-wood%3A-Making-letter-t/ -- Johan W. Elzenga, Editor/Photographer, www.johanfoto.com

If you >want to print directly on wood then you may need a special printer (more >like PRESS then print). Thanks Joe. I should have added 'the printers I know can print on paper, canvas and T-Shirts.' Like you said, more like 'press than print'. |
