Watch the below video to follow the process from start to finish:
Step 1: Preparing the Canvas – Your Wall:
Before diving into the world of art, it’s essential to ensure that your canvas, in this case, your wall, is ready. Any imperfections on the wall need to be addressed, whether through Rhino lighting painting or other fixes. The surface must be free of oils within the paint to ensure a smooth application of the artwork.
Step 2: Creating the Masterpiece – Artwork and Print:
With the wall prepped and ready, the next step is to bring Van Gogh’s masterpiece to life with an Eco Solvent Printer from AM.CO.ZA. Using the AI-generated artwork of Van Gogh, the first task is to section it off according to the size of the panels needed. Careful consideration is given to the width of each panel, with a recommended range of 800 to 950 mm. Overlapping each panel by 20 to 30 mm ensures a seamless alignment during installation.
The artwork is meticulously divided into sections, creating panels that will be printed individually. By maintaining proper bleed margins, the panels are ready for the printing process. This step involves using an ECO solvent printer, ensuring the ink embeds itself into the wallpaper’s cotton surface, guaranteeing longevity and durability.
Step 3: Printing and Trimming:
Each panel is then trimmed on all sides, leaving no white space that could affect the overall aesthetic. After the panels are prepared, they are applied to the wall using an industrial-strength wallpaper glue and an ABS squeegee for application. Care is taken to start from the middle when applying the wallpaper to allow for adjustments and corrections.
Step 4: Installation and Final Touches:
When all the panels are printed and trimmed, it’s time for the grand installation. A generous layer of wallpaper glue is applied to the wall, and each panel is carefully placed, starting from the middle.
Overlapping ensures corrections can be made if needed. Once applied, the wallpaper is left to dry before final touches, such as squaring into corners and trimming excess material.
Conclusion:
The transformation is complete, and the Van Gogh AI masterpiece now graces the wall, turning a plain surface into a work of art. This project carried out with precision and attention to detail, showcases the seamless integration of a Eco Solvent Printer and art. The result is a stunning 3 m by 4 m Van Gogh masterpiece that invites admiration and appreciation. Whether you’re a seasoned art enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of wall transformations, this step-by-step guide opens the door to turning your living space into a gallery of timeless beauty.
