Abstract

See full text

A method of imbedding an image in a stone substrate includes printing an image onto a first surface of the stone substrate with regular inks and/or phosphorescent inks. Optionally, a moist towel is placed over the first surface of the stone substrate and a weight is placed over the moist towel then time is provided for the inks of the image to transfer from the print image into the surface of the stone substrate, sublimating into the stone. If provided, the moist towel and the print image are then removed and the above steps are repeated until the image is imbedded into the stone substrate. Optionally, a mirror image of the image is printed on the opposite side of the stone substrate in a similar manner.
