SLA-based relief matrix production in contemporary printmaking: Material performance, detail fidelity, and print consistency
Öz
This study examines the technical potentials and limitations of SLA-based three-dimensional printing technology for the production of relief printing matrices within contemporary printmaking practice. The research evaluates the process through which digitally designed linear compositions are transformed into physical matrices via photopolymer-based SLA printing, using criteria such as structural durability, fidelity of detail transfer, ink retention and distribution characteristics, and print consistency. Within the scope of the study, SLA-printed matrices produced at different thicknesses were tested under traditional relief printmaking workshop conditions. Their mechanical and surface behaviors during inking, press pressure, and repeated printing were comparatively observed. The findings indicate that SLA matrices produced at sufficient thickness maintain structural stability during printing, enable the high-fidelity transfer of digitally designed compositions with dense linear structures into physical form, and support ink distribution compatible with conventional relief printing techniques. Print outputs obtained through repeated impressions exhibited a high degree of consistency in terms of line quality, tonal balance, and edge sharpness, demonstrating that SLA-based matrices offer a functional alternative for editioned relief print production. The study argues that SLA technology should be regarded not merely as a digital fabrication tool but as a distinct method for matrix production within contemporary printmaking practice, and it provides a practice-based contribution to ongoing discussions on post-digital printmaking.
