A method of manufacturing a lamp

A method of manufacturing a lamp shade comprising providing a canvas material, providing a digital image to be printed on the canvas material, providing a printer capable of accomplishing Giclee printing, imparting the digital image to the portrait oil paintings Giclee printer, Giclee printing the image on the canvas material and securing the canvas bearing the Giclee printed image to the outer surface of a lamp shade.

The present invention is directed to a lamp shade which is decorated on its exterior surface by Giclee printing a desired decorative image landscape oil paintings. The image may be any which is desired, such as fine art, family photographs, vacation scenes or the like which are particularly memorable.

Giclee printing of images generated from high resolution digital images and printed with archival quality inks provides a lamp shade discount oil paintings constructed in accordance with the present invention. The Giclee printing is onto a canvas which has been appropriately treated to receive the archival quality ink and to reproduce the image in high resolution. Giclee printing is typically accomplished using professional 8 color to 12 color ink jet printers.

Keyed paint container holder

A keyed paint container holder for paint mixers having a pivoting interlock key movable with respect to a paint container Other problems landscape oil paintings associated with paint delivery and application systems of the type described herein, particularly for mass production applications, including automotive applications, generally relate to the precise metering of liquid coating or paint applied to the part because of differences in the temperature and viscosity of the liquid coating and different parts may be painted in the same line. Where paint canisters are utilized, it would also be desirable to use a nonconductive cylinder which does not expand or contract under varying conditions. In certain applications, for example, it would be desirable to provide an excess of available paint to compensate for variations in temperature and viscosity and return the excess paint to the color changer.

The paint delivery and application systems and methods of this invention solve the above-identified problems, including reduced cycle time discount oil paintings, automatic switching of paint and rapid flushing of the paint applicator between applications and electrically isolates the color changer from the applicator permitting use of electrically conductive paint, including but not limited to water based paints. The paint delivery and application systems of this invention also eliminates waste of paint. The paint delivery and application systems and method of this invention is also easily adapted for robotic paint application systems using a rotary atomizer and applying electrically conductive paint.receptacle of the holder for orienting a rectangular footprint paint container to have a handle of the paint container in a corner of the holder adjacent the interlock key.

The interlock key has first and second portions abstract oil painting and is pivotable with respect to the holder to at least first and second positions and, optionally, to a third position. The holder accepts a cylindrical paint container as an alternative to the rectangular footprint paint container.
