Print on Paper
In print process, a fine stream of ink (more than four millions droplets per second) is sprayed onto art paper. Each piece of paper or canvas is carefully hand mounted onto a drum which rotates during printing. Exact calculation of hue, value and density direct the ink from four nozzles. This produces a combination of 512 chromatic changes (with over three million colors possible) of highly saturated, non-toxic water-based ink.
