![]() ![]() It also didn’t dry, so as I took it out of the printer it smudged very easily. The first iteration of the design had an issue with the ink in the middle, which had the highest concentration, the ink seemed to drip off the sheet. We decided to try to use transparent sheets. I’ve been trying to print my three color system onto big paper. Next time I will make sure once I print the first layer that the paper is the right size and that the paper is put into the printer the correct way. I put the paper into the printer the wrong way for magenta layer which is why its overlapped with both the cyan and yellow layers. The cyan and yellow layers are actually quite well-aligned. The printer automatically cuts the paper into the desired size after finishing printing the image. I believe that the printer cuts the page a bit larger than the selected size and this lead to issues when I fed the cut paper back into the printer to print out the next layer. Another difference was that I printed out the black layer in order to make more variations in the value of each color. One difference between this one and the one I did on transparent paper was the fact that it was originally a roll. I completely messed up the alignment of the layers and my end result was nothing like it was supposed to be. I tried again to print the circular design onto non-transparent glossy paper. The main reason was because if the two layers were out of line it was impossible to tell because there was no place where they were supposed to overlap perfectly. This worked much better than the circular design craft-wise. I then used my first technique of printing each layer seperately onto each other. This method certainly created many different colors, but none secondary. I used glossy paper and simply printed all the layers at once. First I simply printed out the image on photoshop with all layers visible. CMYK Experiment (part 4)Īfter working with the round color wheel design on transparent paper I decided to try my original striped design on a large scale. I think this is because the original image itself was playing with the concept of colored light combinations. These images had really interesting effects. I did this in three different combinations, each using two layers of color. Then I printed the layers out one at a time onto the same piece of paper. ![]() I used photoshop to seperate the image into three different layers (cyan, magenta, yellow). I chose an image of Carlos Cruz-Diez’s Chromosaturation. In retrospect it would’ve been good to either have another ring with just pure colors or to have one less black ring.Īfter finishing this design I tried to use the same concept of printing in layers but with a picture of something instead of a graphic. Another issue I found with the design after using black as well as the primary printing colors was that there were no more sections of pure primary colors or secondary colors, each either had a lower opacity to make lighter or a black layer overlapping to make it darker. If I were to reprint the design I would use a sheet rather than a roll. This worked almost perfectly with the only slight misalignment coming from the first layer I printed. After making the cut I was able to feed the paper back into the printer to print the other layers. I had to cut off a half an inch on either side of the design because the printer cuts the roll an inch longer than specified. I finally was able to complete a full version of my color wheel using all four layers (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). To continue this investigation for my final exam I plan to take my own pictures and use the same color seperation process on them. This leads me to believe that that is the order of ink a printer prints onto paper. The below image is in the order cyan, magenta, yellow, black (or CMYK). One interesting thing I learned from this is that the order of layers affects the final appearance of the image. Once I had printed all the layers out I aligned them all over each other to create the image. Then I printed each layer onto a transparent sheet. I found the above image online and used photoshop to separate it into four different channels (CMYK). To take this method further I decided to use the same technique with an actual image rather than a graphic. Also, the black layer created some brown colors I didn’t originally think that black was used to create brown. It is much easier to align if each layer is on a seperate sheet. ![]() I learned a few things by using this process. ![]() I did this with the cirular color wheel design. Lately I’ve been experimenting with printing each layer of my design onto a single sheet of transparent paper. ![]()
