New book offers a digital printing method using Japanese paper that will give new life to photos
Carl-Evert Jonsson announces the release of 'Using Japanese Paper for Digital Printing of Photographs'
STOCKHOLM, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Carl-Evert Jonsson wants to describe his techniques for digitally printing photos on Japanese paper, which has qualities distinct from conventional photographic paper. After using Japanese papers for paintings and collages, he started to work with them for his photos. The technique allows for experimenting and trying new techniques without darkroom facilities.
"Using Japanese Paper for Digital Printing of Photographs" (published by AuthorHouse UK) shares Evert Jonsson's experiences using techniques for digitally printing photographs on Japanese paper. After using Japanese papers (washi) for paintings and collages, he started to use the papers for his photos. This technique is not an alternative to classic film-based photography whereby pictures are produced from materials affected chemically and physically by light. Instead, ink is injected from a cartridge in a printer connected to a computer and printed on paper, in this case on washi. Darkroom facilities are not needed. The only requirements are computer, printer, washi and photos.
The liveliness of washi fibers gives a softer result, and washi is more absorbent than Western papers, with the ink appearing integrated rather than sitting on the printed surface. Comparing results from printing on matte photo paper and on washi inspired Evert Jonsson to explore washi in some detail and to find his own way.
"Using Japanese Paper for Digital Printing of Photographs" is aimed at the enquiring photographer who would like to experiment and try new ways. The common concept of how photographs should look may perhaps be challenged by this technique as it produces pictures that are not so much beautiful as interesting and worthy of attention.
