TY - JOUR AU - Okada, Minoru AB - In this paper we propose a method to synthesize a virtual copperplate print image based on physical model as a non‐photorealistic rendering in Computer Graphics. In particular we pick out the drypoint from many existing copperplate printing techniques. A drypoint print has a remarkable feature that ridged burrs are arising out of the copperplate and the printed lines are slightly ragged and fuzzy. Our method consists of four sub‐processes: plate making, ink applying, wiping and printing. Each process simulates the physical actions and phenomena observed in the actual copperplate printing. In this study we use a small‐scale print and an actual print created by a real copperplate artist for some experiments to indicate effects and availability of proposed method to synthesize a print image with the feature of drypoint.
