[Alt-photo] Re: ALT- Lithophane, Wax Molding of Gelatin Relief and Contact Print with Wax Relief

Have you checked photopolymer plate? That might make things easy for you.
You can buy the plate for experiments and if it works,  you can buy liquid
photopolymer and make your own plates.

Hello all,

I read cnc cut plastic lithophane tutorial.

http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/pvc/docs/Machining_Lithophanes.pdf

White plastic requires 2.5 mm relief depth. Is it possible to make 5 mm
thick relief with gelatin ?
