How Texture Catches Light

Embossed Texture

Created by ~250 layers of ink building a mold. The texture is pressed INTO the paper, creating shadows that shift as you move the light.

Raised Ink

Clear ink (~50 layers) sits ON TOP of the print surface. It catches light as highlights, making elements pop out from the page.

Why It Matters

Textured prints are difficult to photograph because the effect changes with viewing angle. This demo simulates what you'd see in person.
