Abstract
A printmaking process that utilizes phosphorescent transfer plates as the method for producing prints is disclosed. Specifically, this invention uses an engraved plate, which is coated with viscous phosphorescent paint. Once the paint on the plate is dry, the plate is exposed to light, causing the paint to become light-emitting. The plate is then placed in contact with photo-sensitive emulsion. After the proper exposure time, the photo-sensitive emulsion is developed, thereby producing a print. This invention can generate a wide array of prints. For example, black and white prints can be created under this invention. Further, prints containing a variation of tones between black and white and/or prints containing texture can be manufactured under this invention. Finally, color prints can be produced under this invention.
Claims27
A method of printmaking comprising:
- providing a plate having a surface including cavities forming an image;
- applying a coating of viscous phosphorescent paint over said surface of said plate;
- adding layers of phosphorescent paint to said surface;
- exposing said plate to light;
- placing said plate in contact with a photo-sensitive emulsion;
- and
- developing said photo-sensitive emulsion, producing a finished print.
A print, comprising:
- a developed photo-sensitive emulsion which has been exposed to a plate containing an image formed by applying layers of light-emitting viscous phosphorescent paint to said plate's surface.
A method of printmaking comprising:
- providing a plate having a surface including cavities forming an image;
- applying a coating of viscous phosphorescent paint over said surface of said plate;
- removing layers of phosphorescent paint from said surface;
- exposing said plate to light;
- placing said plate in contact with a photo-sensitive emulsion;
- and
- developing said photo-sensitive emulsion, producing a finished print.
A method of printmaking comprising:
- providing a plate having a surface including cavities forming an image;
