[Solution] The photographic print processing structure 1 of this invention comprises a smooth photographic print layer 2 on which an image is formed, and a transparent resin layer 3 applied to the surface of the photographic print layer 2, the transparent resin layer 3 having a manually formed textured pattern 4. Of these, the transparent resin layer 3 is preferably made of a gel medium.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a processing structure for manually creating a textured pattern on the surface of a photographic print, and in particular to a technique for adding a three-dimensional appearance by using a transparent resin layer. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, photographs have tended to be seen as less valuable as artworks than paintings because they are easy to reproduce and are flat printed matter. For this reason, there has been a demand for ways to give photographs the uniqueness and three-dimensionality of paintings.

[0003] For example, the three-dimensional painting technology described in Patent Document 1 is characterized by using a special canvas fabric 4 for the bottom layer, gluing a photographic print paper 1 to the surface, adhering a laminating film 2 to the surface under high heat and pressure, and then applying a special resin 8 to the surface to create an oil painting-like texture that matches the composition and design of the photograph and creates a three-dimensional effect.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-26199 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the three-dimensional painting technique in Patent Document 1 involves extensive processing of specially made canvas, resulting in a composition that is closer to a painting than a photographic work.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to enhance the artistic and commercial value of a one-of-a-kind item that differs from a reproduction by processing the photographic print to give it a pictorial three-dimensional effect and a unique, handcrafted character. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above objective, the processing structure of the photographic print of this invention comprises a smooth photographic print layer on which an image is formed, and a transparent resin layer applied to the surface of the photographic print layer, and the transparent resin layer has a manually formed uneven pattern.

[0008] The transparent resin layer is preferably made of a gel medium.

[0009] Furthermore, the textured pattern can be formed by a sponge roller, a rubber spatula, a brush, or a palette knife. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The present invention provides the following advantages:

[0011] By manually creating a textured pattern on the transparent resin layer, a unique three-dimensional appearance can be given to the surface of the photograph.

[0012] It is possible to create different textures for each piece, giving each piece added value as a one-of-a-kind item, not a reproduction.

[0013] By using gel medium as a transparent resin, transparency and workability are achieved, and three-dimensional expression can be added without damaging the photographic image.

[0014] No special machinery or equipment is required, and high-value-added works can be produced using simple work processes.

[0015] Furthermore, by soaking the surface of the print paper in gel medium, it becomes water-resistant and the surface strength is improved. For example, if you touch the surface of an inkjet printer with your bare hands, oil and grease will adhere to it and become a clear stain, but if you touch something with this device, you will not notice any oily stains even if you touch it with your bare hands, and even if you roll a dust removal roller over the surface, it will not damage the surface in practice.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following examples are merely examples and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention. [Example]

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. In this embodiment, in order to impart a pictorial three-dimensional effect to a photographic work, a transparent resin layer is applied to the surface of the photographic print, and a textured pattern is then manually formed on the surface.

[0019] (Materials and tools used) Photo print: A4 size matte paper for inkjet printers (pigment ink compatible, water-absorbent surface) Transparent resin (gel medium): "Gel Medium" (acrylic, transparent, medium viscosity) manufactured by Company A Application tool: Rubber spatula (5cm wide, flexible type) ·Irregularity forming tools: Sponge roller (5cm wide, coarse type) Nylon brush (flat type, width 3cm) Metal palette knife (tip width 2cm) Drying support: plywood panel (e.g. 45cm x 35cm) Protective equipment: Disposable gloves, work mat

[0020] (Work procedure) Next, the work procedure will be described.

[0021] (1) Fixing photo prints As shown in Figure 2, temporarily fix the four corners of the photo print to the plywood panel with masking tape to prevent the photo from shifting during the work. Check that there is no oil or dust on the surface of the photo, and clean it with an air duster if necessary.

[0022] (2) Applying transparent resin (gel medium) As shown in Figure 3, take an appropriate amount of gel medium from the palette and spread it evenly over the surface of the photograph using a rubber spatula. Apply a thickness of approximately 0.2 to 5.0 mm, making sure to spread it evenly over the entire surface. Work carefully to avoid introducing bubbles in order to maintain transparency.

[0023] (3) Formation of uneven patterns As shown in Figure 4(b), immediately after application, a sponge roller is used to create a textured surface. By gently rolling the roller and pressing it locally, a three-dimensional pattern is created.

[0024] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4(a), strokes or undulating bumps can be created using a rubber spatula or brush. Depending on the hardness and angle of the brush tip, linear or planar patterns can be created.

[0025] In addition, as shown in Figure 5, it is possible to create more sculptural patterns by lifting or scraping away parts of the resin with a palette knife. These uneven patterns are intentionally formed on the whole or in parts, and reflect the artist's artistic expression.

[0026] (4)Natural drying After creating the pattern, place the work on a level surface and let it dry naturally for at least 24 hours. It is recommended to cover it with a cover (cardboard or non-woven fabric) to prevent dust from accumulating during drying.

[0027] After drying, the transparent resin layer hardens, and the photographic image remains clearly visible, while a three-dimensional uneven pattern remains on the surface.

[0028] (Photo print processing structure) The processed structure 1 of the dried photographic print is composed of a photographic print layer 2, a transparent resin layer 3, and a textured pattern 4.

[0029] Photo print layer 2: A smooth photo print layer on which an image is formed. Transparent resin layer 3: An acrylic resin layer formed in close contact with the base layer 2, which maintains transparency even after drying. · Textured pattern 4: A three-dimensional structure with a height difference of approximately 0.2 to 10 mm formed manually on the top layer of the transparent resin layer 3; texture.

[0030] This structure adds parallax and light and shadow to the photographic image, creating an artistic work that looks different depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

[0031] (Effects and uses) The finished product is a photographic work that visually and tactilely has the brushstrokes and thickness of a painting, making it highly valuable for exhibition and sale. It is suitable for gallery exhibitions, interior decoration, or sale in the photo art market.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention.
