Patent ID: 6877916

Claim:
A method for printing a non-repeating plurality of design motifs onto cloth by employing a computer in communication with a printer, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a cloth for printing by the printer of said design motif; (b) selecting said design motif from one of an imaginary art motif, a natural art motif, an object art motif, and a combination thereof, said design motif comprising a plurality of segments; (c) determining an algorithm on said computer to describe said design motif; (d) determining a plurality of parameters on said computer for use in said algorithm for a plurality of variations of said design motif, the each of the plurality of parameters comprising a function that is changeable upon input of a variable; (e) selecting said variable for use in at least one of said plurality of parameters, said variable selected randomly on said computer from a group consisting of size, thickness, width, length, angle, interval, point, line, line angle, line length, line thickness, line width, line interval, sequence, degree, brightness, contrast, color, color range, color level, repeat, repetitiveness and combinations thereof, wherein a first variable is randomly selected to determine the location on said cloth of a first of said plurality of segments and used as input for a subsequent variable; (f) generating one of said plurality of variations of said design motif on said computer; (g) repeating steps e and f in order to generate a sequential chain of said plurality of variations of said design motif for printing said non-repeating plurality of design motifs on said cloth; (h) passing one of said a sequential chain of said plurality of variations of said motif from said computer to said printer; and (i) printing said one of said plurality of variations of said design motif on said cloth in said sequential chain of said non-repeating plurality of design motifs.
