The art of screen printing: reproduction of details and images

Dot screen printing, the process is a matte Pantone light grey paint application, followed by the application of a dot screen printing that reproduces the face of a sculpture.

Processing:

Problem:

Indeco’s desire to develop a sample demonstrating the potential of dot screen printing on a project originally conceived by L’Oreal posed unique challenges. The goal was to faithfully replicate the most famous sculptures on a plastic medium, a task traditionally entrusted to digital printing due to its ability to handle a wide range of colors.

Solution:

Indeco overcame these challenges through the strategic use of dot screen printing, a method that allows varying the ink density applied through a finely worked frame. This process enabled the reproduction of the sculptures’ complex chiaroscuro effects with a single color, maintaining high visual quality.

NOVELTY:

The real breakthrough of this project was the ability to achieve an extraordinary visual effect, typically only obtained with the use of multiple colors, through a single pass of dot screen printing. This not only reduced production costs but also opened new possibilities in the field of artistic reproduction on non-traditional materials.
