Inkjet Transfers onto Wood for Weidmann
Jake Weidmann is a Denver based Artist & Master Penman who works with many mediums including drawing in pencil, pen and ink, painting in acrylics, airbrush gouache, carving in wood, wax, stone, antler and pre-ban Ivory; calligraphy forms of script, off-hand flourishing, illumination and black letter.
Jake and I just finished a really fun project that yielded fantastic results. Jake knows I love the alternative printing surfaces and came to me with the idea of transferring his new drawing to a cross section of a tree trunk. He had 25 tree trunk slabs that were to be the centerpieces at an upcoming conference.
Jake drew a beautifully intricate Compass Rose on Calfskin Vellum and had me scan it. I was then able to print the Compass Rose onto transfer film. The wood was then coated with a receptive coating that when comes into contact with the transfer film pulls the image away onto the new surface.
Some other alternative printing surfaces that I offer are tile, metal, Plexiglass, and many kinds of wood.

Reproductions for Brooke Howell
In order to make a reproduction I start by doing a hi-resolution scan with my Epson scanner. After that is created I balance the color, contrast, and brightness in Photoshop to match the original artwork.
I can then make prints at the original size or larger. We both agree that the Optica One paper suits these pieces done on wood very well. Optica One is a smooth surface 300gsm matte fine art paper rated at 100+ years of archival certification.
