Photofinish from printer

[Stewart Schooley]

Picture is on the binary page.

If you are going to try printing out a photofinish paper from your
printer, there is no doubt that you should;
Adjust your editing program so that your print is subdued, actually
greyed color. About like the wood before it was stained, only lighter.
Add color to it by;
Putting a small dab of color directly from an artist's oil paint
tube onto a rag dampened with
paint thinner and rubbing it thinly and evenly over the print.

Put a small dab of oil color on wax paper, dip a natural bristle
brush [1" or a little more] in
paint thinner, swoosh it around in the paint and slop it on the
print. Then smooth evenly with a
rag
Or, dip your brush in oil based wood stains and then swoosh it
around in the oil paint. This
will give you more color choices.

Either way, you can add more color immediately or after the print is
dried. The best idea is to take your computer print to a copy machine
and make some black and white copies. You can color 3, 4, or 5 quickly
and choose the best one.

There is no "art work" in painting a piece of paper. The only "art work"
you have to do is make a color choice.

In the photo, the oil paint and oil paint under Deft look as good as the
day I put the print in the window to catch the light almost 4 months
ago. The printer ink has faded some.

So far, we know that Deft, Mohawk's Nitrocellulose Lacquer, Poly,
Formby's Tung Oil, alkyd resins, and S-W's Waterborne will cover the oil
paint without problems.

Stewart-

The new sample with the saran wrap decal looked great!!! How did you tack
down the plastic to do the printing?
