Digital print with diamond dust

Home / glossary / Digital print with diamond dust

A print process in which a sophisticated inkjet printer is used to print an image, using fine-grained pigment inks (rather than dye). Piezoelectric technology forces ink through microscopic holes. The ink droplets are then electrostatically steered onto the surface of the paper. The result is a high-quality, high-definition archival print.

Adhesive is then applied to specific areas of the print using the screenprinting technique (in this case, the background of the print). Diamond dust is poured onto the print and the print is then lifted, dispersing the diamond dust over the surface so that it sticks to the adhesive areas.
