But I think there are plenty of possibilities to keep me busy even being limited
to white only. And I am confident that you AFOL's will come up with a plethora
of things that I have never thought about. This is really new tech and really
does, I believe open up wide possibilities for all kinds of things. The machine
of course was not designed with LEGO in mind, but things like golfballs, pens,
lighters, tin cans, boxes--one step 4 color is new concept for these items.

For example could do a plate with a little white border around it, background

Tommy,

Out of curiosity, what about printing on clear window panes?  would that work?
I would think that you might be able to print on both sides of a window pane,
giving 2x capacity.  (not to mention all the fun LEGO scenes you could "draw" on
a window pane...town or otherwise!) let your imagination run on that
possibility.

Have you tried using a non-white brick to see what it does?  I know from some of
my limited art education classes, when we had to paint a gallery wall from dark
to light, it was required that you put a sealer on the existing paint, which
prevented the dark color from bleeding through the light color.

Granted, I'm applying paint logic to printing, but it's something to experiment
with.

(...) They do indeed have a 5 color process that prints white also, but it uses UV light to cure the white "basecoat" and then prints to the white and uses a uv cure for that also. With that process they can achieve higher film builds since UV will (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
