3D printer reproduces exact copies of pictures (including texture and "relief")

In general, the fact that there are now printers that are able to print pictures, while modeling their texture, you will not surprise anyone. In my opinion, someone told me a long time ago that most of the paintings exhibited by market artists are created in this way. I do not know how true this is, but they told me so. The other day there was information about a 3D printer that surpasses all these technological innovations of market dealers in paintings. The fact is that this printer is able to reproduce any pictures, not only color, but also texture, everything, until the last brush stroke.

However, in order to reproduce an exact copy of the painting by the great master, you need to have a very high-quality image of the original. It is not entirely clear, this alone must be an image, or several, so that the machine can “understand” which brushstrokes need to be reproduced, and how. However, the printer can reproduce pictures as 600 DPI.

The video below shows how paint is applied (well, or the substance that replaces it). The print head goes back and forth many times, applying a “picture” layer by layer. Here is the video itself, thanks to which you can see how it all happens:
