ABSTRACT:
A process for producing high quality multi-color images on textured surfaces. A plurality of color separation negatives are produced from an original multi-color image. Printing plates are prepared using the color separation negatives and a stochastic random dot screen. The plates are mounted on a series of printing units and the separation images are printed in register using an ink that is cured to a substantially dry state by exposure to ultraviolet radiation. A source of ultraviolet radiation is placed between each pair of printing unite to cure each image before the next is printed. The images are printed on a textured substrate, such as canvas. Selected areas are then overprinted serigraphically using transparent to translucent liquids, at least some of which include translucent colorants. The imaged substrate may be coated with a liquid plastic which is textured as the plastic dries. The final product is a high quality, artistic, rendering of the original image.
