New form of printing!

Hi everyone!

I hope finals went well :)

My friend works for this blog, and sent me the following link:

Apparently they are REDEFINING the future of printmaking!

Here is a little tidbit from the article:

The quality is astounding. There’s no banding or half-tones to be found, and the only limits on definition seem to be the original image and the thread count of the fabric itself. The images are monochrome but can be rendered in any single color, and the print extends across seams and stitching, creating a truly unique effect. How the process works is another question entirely. Genet and Angoulvant are tight-lipped on the details—as well they should be with a million-dollar idea like this. Whatever the case, they’ve put half a decade of research into Lumi and the result is tremendous.

Hope you all find it as exciting as I do! Let's send in some spies to figure out how they do it!
