Please enjoy a rerun of my experiments with digital grounds; this is where it all began …
Are you enjoying playing with your Digital Grounds? My obsession continues …
Continuing my tests with Digital Grounds, I thought I’d try it out on some hessian. I love the texture of the hessian and though that it might produce a nice print – which indeed it did!
The image below was created in photoshop and then printed onto a piece of off-white hessian that was treated with Digital Grounds. The Digital Grounds made the hessian quite stiff which produced a great surface on which to print.
You can see from the closeups below that the details on the image on the left (which was treated with Digital Grounds) are crisp and well defined while the details on the image on the right (which was not treated with Digital Grounds) are kind of fuzzy and my less defined.
And not only that, I thought I’d give my poor old printer a real workout and I backed the hessian with a piece of cream muslin to catch the leftover ink that would be printed out in the spaces on the hessian, and I ended up with a really nice piece of fabric with a lovely “negative” print on it which I can cut up and use as a coordinate with my main image. My printer didn’t quite have a seizure but that was sure a lot of fabric to go through in one pass!
So are you ready to give Digital Grounds a go yet?
