Notes. The foil is applied to the surface in tiny dots (as if sputtered)
as shown in the photos and results in view angle
dependent reflectivity. The plaid screen print in mostly observed in
shadow behind the reflective surface coating foil work because if its high
reflectivity. Viewing the fabric straight on is where the surface
peaks in reflectivity and shine. The areas of
high reflection of light almost completely obscures the printed
plaid. In areas where the light is reflected away or when the
surface is viewed at an angle less than 90° to the surface, the design and
monotone palate are visible. This effect would make for unique and
visually interesting drapery or any application where the fabric
makes a curve. The hand is almost slick (feels coated) with some degree
of texture from the foil application.
*A note about color reproduction. Color is
subjective. Any descriptors used to characterize color must to taken as a
suggestion only, and not as definitive. Color reproduction is massively
difficult and color management in most devices is implemented poorly.
Apple devices handle color reasonably well. Microsoft Windows devices are
all over the place; the same applies to Android devices. Those with
Windows PC’s are strongly encouraged to enable Windows Color Management and
install updated monitor drivers or download the ICC color space specific to the
monitor and then configure Windows Color Management properly. If you are
unsure how to check or configure, I am willing to assist. Unless a
calibrated monitor is used, I recommend resetting the monitor back to factory
standard configurations. For most flat screen monitors, color settings
should be set to 5000K, daylight, or warm and the brightness setting should be
high. For Android devices, the brightness adjustment slider should be
pushed to the right. Any “night” or “bed time” view settings which
automatically filter much of the color blue on all platforms should be
disabled. Otherwise, your eyes may be deceiving you, and, most
likely, are!
