So, basically, he has made something that will allow the paper to be shifted and print test registration marks and he adjusts until he gets it all aligned, then prints. control over deposited ink volume, adaptive layer thickness, and selective multi-pass printing.

His description of the process contains such teasers as "It was quite easy to alter the printer by adding a device that minutely shifts this control strip so a second impression can be accurately superimposed on an earlier one" and "It was also pretty easy to machine some additional parts for the printer to allow adjustment of position in the other direction." In this study, a custom binder-jetting 3D printer was. These plant pot models come with water pipes that you can fill, these will water the plants as needed so you only need to remember to water the pot itself, which you’ll need to do far less often. This means that a pale red colour can be printed. Plant pots may seem basic, but they really become one of the most functional things to 3D print when you add in a self-watering feature. How does the 4880 do this? He modified it to allow registration-he was a famously inventive person. It is possible to increase the saturation and density of colours by over layering or multi-pass printing. Then, for pass two, he converted the file to CMYK, dropped the black, and overlaid that color on the print. First he printed a somewhat weakly-inked version of the file. The basic idea is to run the paper through three times. Has to said, you achieve pretty much the same in post, looking at your (rather impressive) website?įirst, for those not familiar with Richard Benson here's a good link to start: Īs for multi-pass printing, he describes the process at the end of his book North South East West (printed with a similar process on an offset press) where he would make three files from a color image and print each atop the others using an Espon 4880. Interesting.but I think registration would be almost insurmountable, depending on what tolerances you expect.
