Research on the Influence of Surface Sizing on Handmade Xuan Paper’s Modification

Abstract:

With the development of digital reproduce technology for traditional Chinese painting, the current demand for high quality “digital xuan paper” and the requirements for its quality is increasing. Handmade xuan paper as the most basic and important material in traditional Chinese painting works, its unique brush pattern and click texture is not available in the “digital xuan paper” dedicated to the digital copy. Therefore, in the reproduction process for traditional Chinese painting, in addition to the rigorous reproduce process, the most important condition to obtain high-fidelity replication products is choosing a type of paper that meet the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting. Based on the digital inkjet technology in this paper, handmade xuan paper chose as the object was modified to obtain the technical requirements of digital reproduce by surface sizing process. Through the study process of different composition sizing agent and different sizing technology, find not only the Influence law of sizing technology and formula on tone level, clarity and color aspects of handmade xuan paper, but also the sizing technology and formula required for modifying handmade xuan paper to comply with part of Index in digital inkjet reproduce process. Through this thesis can provide a reference for handmade xuan paper in the field of digital reproduce technology.
