Fingernail and toenail decoration using ink jets
Inkjet printing technology is used to apply selected designs on fingernails or toenails. The nail-printing device applies highly detailed, customized, multicolored designs that are scaled to precisely fit within the boundary of each individual nail. The device comprises an ink jet print head, a holder for aligning the digits or nails, a camera to image the nails, a computer to acquire, store and analyze the image, and a control system that directs the ink jet print head to apply the scaled design to the nails.
