Printing Process
The embossing is termed “blind” because the design is formed without ink or foil. (Debossing is an image stamped onto
Digital Printing
The designer discuss CTP with their printer. The printer's familiarity with the process, their the designer discuss CTP
with their printer. The printer's familiarity with the process, their equipment, the type of plates, and file format and
preparation all play a role in the success of the computer-to-plate process. the computer-to-plate process.
Embroidery
The process of taking artwork from any source, including your original drawings, and turning it into a language that a
computerized embroidery machine can translate into stitches.
Embossing
Embossing is like blind embossing above, only this type of printing uses ink or foil on the raised area to add drama and
dimension. Combination of foil stamping - application of foil with heat - and embossing - create a raised impression -
that result in a raised and foil stamped image is described as Foil Embossing.
Unlike relief and intaglio printing where the image to be printed is raised above or sunk below the surface of the printing
plate, in lithography the printing surface is flat with both images and non - image areas at the same level on the
printing plates. Invented in 1798 by Alois Senefelder, lithography used the fact that oil and water don't mix as the
basis of the printing process. A flat stone such as limestone or a metal plate is treated so that the image area attracts
oil-based inks and wet non-image areas repel the oil-base inks.
Foil Stamping
The creation of a three-dimensional design or image on paper is known as embossing. Heat and pressures reshape the
surface of the paper to create the image. Single, multi-level, beveled, and sculptured are the styles of embossing.
Embossing can be done on plain paper or combined with ink, images, or foil for special effect. Graphics software can
simulate the three-dimensional look of embossing.
Flexography
Frequently used for printing on plastics, foil, acetate film, brown paper, and other materials used in packaging,
flexography is also known as flexographic printing or flexo. Some typical applications for flexography are paper and
plastic bags, milk cartons,disposable cups, and candy bar wrappers. Flexography printing may also be used for
envelopes, labels, and newspapers.
Pearlize
The process that applies a luminous pearl-like finish to part of an invitation, usually to an embossed design, is called
pearlizing.
Silkscreen
Screen (or silkscreen, as it is sometimes called) printing primarily uses a hand or electronically-prepared stencil. The
part to be printed is made up of silk, nylon or a stainless-steel mesh. Ink can pass through this area but not the other
part of the stencil which is contained inside a frame. The printing surface is placed under the frame on a flat surface.
The impression is made by forcing the ink through the screen area with a rubber squeegee.
Thermography
Thermography produces raised printing similar in appearance to engraving but using a different process. In
thermography, a special powder is added to the ink printed on the paper. The printed piece is heated and the powder
and ink mixture dries to form a raised effect on the paper.
Examples: Used for wedding invitations, fine stationery, sometimes business cards and letterheads, the raised
effect of engraving is similar in appearance to thermography without the glossy look, but the cost is generally higher.
Engraving is a form of intaglio printing.
Chocolography
The reproduction of your favorite photo, design or business logo, or any other image onto rich gourmet chocolate
products.
