A physical model for the simulation ink/paper interaction at the mesoscopic scale is developed. It is based on the modified Ising model, and is generalized to consider the restriction of the finite-volume of ink and also its dynamic seepage. This allows the model to obtain the ink distribution within the paper volume. At the mesoscopic scale, the paper is modeled using a discretized fiber struc...

The multidimensional diffusion model for computer animation of diffuse ink painting opens up a new dimension in painting. In diffuse painting final image is a result of ink diffusion in absorbent paper. A straightforward diffusion model however is unable to provide very specific features of real diffuse painting. In particular, it can not explain the appearance of certain singularities in inten...

Light scattering, or the so-called Yule-Nielsen effect, and ink penetration into the substrate paper play important roles in tone reproduction. We develop a framework in which the influences of both of these effects on the reflectance and tristimulus values of a halftone sample are investigated. The properties of the paper and the ink and their bilateral interaction can be parameterized by the ...

In this manuscript, we develop printable graphene ink through a solvent-exchange method. Printable graphene ink in ethanol and water free of any surfactant is dependent on matching the surface tension of the cross-solvent with the graphene surface energy. Percolative transport behavior is observed for films made of this printable ink. Optical conductivity is then calculated based on sheet resis...

Though books are often considered “old media” in the digital age, their production this period fact has been continually reimagined and redefined through new technologies of printing, especially paper ink manufacturing. This explores how three specific recent printed demonstrate point both form content: David Brower’s Let Mountains Talk, Rivers Run (1995), William McDonough Michael Braungart’s ...
