This is a quick tutorial on how to get the best of both worlds when printing color lithophanes, less purge and more details with full color quality.
Summary of the technique:
Generate 2 lithos from lithophanemaker.com, one which is a white lithophane (printed vertically/standing on the bed) and another (printed horizontal/flat on the bed) which has the cyan, magenta, yellow and white colors in it and has the top white relief layer removed. Glue the two lithophanes together (make sure they align before glueing, because that will compromise quality for sure).
Sorry in advance, I forgot to add some kind of closure, I should've shown some clean final results but this was mostly meant to help those who were asking for a video tutorial in the lithophanemaker facebook group.
I'll do my best to answer all the questions in the comments!!
