Nail decoration using ink jets
Inkjet printing technology is used to apply a selected design on a fingernail or toenail. The nail printing device applies highly detailed, customized, multicolored designs that are scaled to the size and shape of the individual nail. The device comprises an ink jet print head; a holder for aligning the digit or nail, and a control system that contains the nail designs in an electronic digital form, scales and corrects the designs to the individual nail size and shape, and directs the ink jet print head to apply the scaled design to the nail.
