FHL FERG Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Posted this in the Motorcycle section but thougth I'd try hear too: I was looking at some seats from a guy and noticed they're not tooled. They look like they were printed. It remonds me of Decoupage, or maybe some sort of tranfer like a heat tranfer for a t shirt or a temporary tattoo water transfer. Anyone seen anything like this and can point me towards some resources? his description says: "This is a new Distressed Tattoo Seat with a Bomber Plan and Pinup design, that is embedded into the veg-tanned tooling leather. The image is water resistant, very fade resistant and very abrasion resistant. The process gives the seat a tattooed look." Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillB Report post Posted March 1, 2011 A couple of processes come to mind: 1. Since leather is the skin of an animal, it could be tattoo work; 2. Since leather is porous like paper it could be a very good photo quality ink jet printer; 3. Or a very good Air Brush Artist. BillB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillB Report post Posted March 1, 2011 You might want to check out the thread "Full color printing on leather" on the "Specialty Leatherwork" section under "Other Specialties" in the "Art" forum. BillB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
