Title: Accidental blur of image - abstract result
Post by: Harris on October 10, 2007, 06:40:59 am

The other day while printing with my Z3100, by mistake I inserted a sheet of glossy paper on the wrong side.  The result was a landscape image that while unusable, had certain qualities that I found interesting.  Since it was glossy paper, the entire image was blurred or for lack of a better term, smeared.  I found this to be an interesting abstract and attempted to duplicate it on my monitor with PS filters but without success.  

Does anyone have a suggestion on a way that I would be able to replicate this result while printing on the correct side of the glossy paper or on rag paper.

Thank you,

Harris

Can you scan the screwed up image?  Otherwise one can only guess what you're looking at.

Hi -Unfortunately the image is on a 18 x 20 sheet of glossy paper and I cannot scan it. I guess what I said may not be fully be fully accurate - while everthing was blurred, it was because (a black & white image) the ink ran and therefore there was a lack of definition.  If you have any thoughts I would be happy to try them out.

Hi!

If you can't scan the print, why not photograph it (maybe a detail also)?

Cheers,
