Digital Silk Screen - Polarized Pearl Color
For the replica “Digital Silk Screen”, we use special papers called the specular gloss, which is distinctive with its superior luster and lucid finish, to reproduce the glossy texture of Tosaiga. After precisely analyzing the original Tosaiga image using the latest computer technology, microparticles of the pigment ink with excellent durability to water and light are jetted to reproduce vivid and delicate colors. For finishing, the thick layer of resin coats the piece to protect its gloss and hues from ultraviolet rays and shocks for a long time.In addition to these characteristics, "Digital Silk Screen Polarized Pearl Sai" series has excellent reproducibility in color changing depending on the angle. Even more elaborate techniques than conventional Digital Silk Screen series and the use of angle-dependent pearl colors (polarized pearls) successfully express fine sparkles that cannot be reproduced by ordinary ink and natural color changes depending on the angle.
