- saati 4y agoEverything else is printed before cutting.
- chrisseaton 4y agoThe surface this image is on does not exist until the cut is made.
- sophacles 4y agoIt's easy to imagine that this can be made by printing the edge stuff along with the text then precisely cutting.
- webmaven 4y ago> The surface this image is on does not exist until the cut is made. Not so. The painted surface is the pages' surface, and definitely exists prior to the cut. The surface that doesn't previously exist (the pages' edges) isn't the one being painted, it is gilded instead (which serves to hide the painting when the book is closed and the pages at rest).
- thfuran 4y agoThe text is printed before the book edge is trimmed and the words aren't built into the tree.
- chrisseaton 4y agoI don't understand what you mean - the text isn't literally on the cut edge, like this image is.
