I used HP color transparency film.
1st I converted the color image into a CMYK image then deleted the "K" channel which is the black or shades of gray that the lithophane already represents.
Then glue the transparency to the back of the lithophane being sure to line it up just right.
Pretty simple...Huh?

I've thought about doing something like this but wasn't sure how to go about the location.
The image of the couple is not as clear as the eagle. Is that the photo or could the transparency film be off a little?
Great Job

Bill,
Does the litho look just like a normal black and white litho with the light off? Do you have any pics to post of the above examples with the light off? These look great!

I'm curious as to what kind of adhesive you used to stick the transparency down. Seems like contact adhesive would attack the color, or did you reverse the image and use adhesive on the non-printed side?

They look the same as a regular Lithophane from the front without back lighting (and if you give them a light spray of mat-white lacquer you can't see the transparency from the back side also).
I used 3M Super77 spray adhesive, it has no affect on the ink and gives you a little bit of time to line up the print before setting up.
This adhesive can also be used to attach a lithophane to glass...
Bill
