inkAID Precoats Play

For this mini workshop we start out with an excerpt from one of the chapters in my upcoming book “Digital Printing Alternative Surfaces: the definitive source”.  After that we are going to play with inkAID precoats to add surface interest just by applying inkAID precoats in an unusual way.  After you get familiar with how inkAID coatings are used you will get to test your knowledge with a bit of surface design.

Constructing and Printing Crinkle Surfaces

My obsession with digital alternative surfaces led me to create these crinkled surfaces for

printing. There is a slim line between being able to print these substrates and not. If the

crinkles are too deep they quickly make the surface to thick. My advice- start with thin paper if

you have a regular printer and it you have an art printer that will print a decent thickness, just

don’t over due the crinkle part if you use canvas and thicker surfaces. When starting with this

technique I used lightweight canvas From there I tested silk paper, a thin handmade paper and

thin smooth kozo paper. The canvas definitely is the thickest when finished and needs a printer

that will print thicker surfaces.
