Abstract
A new process for producing a reproduction of a painting or the like wherein the reproduction has a relief surface which imitates the relief surface of the painting or the like. Heat and pressure are applied simultaneously to an assembly consisting of a mold of the painting, a colored sheet for coloring the reproduction and a substrate to retain the reproduction. Subsequent to this step, shock cooling is applied. The reproduction thus produced does not suffer from the rebound effect of the prior art and good color integrity is maintained.
Claims17
A method for producing a reproduction of a painting, said reproduction having a relief surface texture imitating the relief surface of said painting, said process comprising the steps of applying heat and pressure to an assembly consisting of a mold of said painting, a coloured sheet for colouring said reproduction, and a substrate to retain said reproduction, and then immediately thereafter shock cooling the assembly by contacting said assembly with cooling plates to permanently retain said relief surface texture on said substrate.
A method for producing a reproduction of a painting, said reproduction having a relief surface imitating the relief surface of said painting, said process comprising the steps of:
- (a) placing a silicone mat on a table of a hydraulic press;
- (b) placing a mold of said painting of the top of said silicone mat with the relief side up;
- (c) placing a coloured sheet for colouring said reproduction on the top of said relief side of said mold;
- (d) placing a substrate to retain the reproduction on the top of said coloured sheet;
- (e) applying heat and pressure simultaneously to an assembly consisting of said mold of said painting, said colour sheet for colouring said reproduction, and said substrate to retain said reproduction;
- and
- (f) immediately thereafter shock cooling said assembly by contacting said assembly with cooling plates to permanently retain said relief surface texture on said substrate.
