Instead of pressing a design from the back of the paper, the design is pressed from the front (italics) of the paper. Blind Embossing The design or text is pushed into the back of the paper, leaving a raised impression on the front that can be either one-dimensional single-level, or threedimensional multi-level. Engraving Incising a design onto a metal plate, applying ink to the recessed lines, and transferring the image onto paper under pressure, resulting in a finely detailed, raised print. Enhanced Finishes: Raised Foil Adding a three-dimensional and reflective effect to selected design elements by applying a layer of metallic foil. Enhanced Finishes: Raised Spot Gloss Applying a glossy varnish to specific design elements, creating a raised and tactile effect for added visual appeal. Enhanced Finishes: Spot Gloss A specific area or spot on a printed piece is coated with a glossy varnish, creating a contrast between glossy and matte textures for visual impact. Flat Printing A printing method that produces a smooth, even surface without raised or embossed elements. Foil Embossing Applying metallic foil onto the printed piece creating a raised design for a decorative and textured effect. Foil Stamping Metallic or pigmented foil is heat-pressed onto a surface to create shiny, eye-catching designs or text. Full Color Process - Flat and Raised Ideal for complex color variations, full color process combines four basic colors – cyan, magenta, yellow, and black – offering a wide spectrum of vivid color. Full color raised printing achieves a multi-dimensional effect. Perma Raised® Thermography A special heat-resistant process, used on all letterheads and envelopes (unless otherwise indicated) that ensures the printed elements withstand the high temps of printers and copy machines without melting, smearing, or distorting color. Raised Printing A method that creates a raised, tactile texture by using a special ink during the printing process. All orders will print with raised ink unless another process is specified or the product is listed otherwise. Standard and PMS Inks Standard inks are basic ink colors used in traditional printing, and can be found in the Stationery Swatch Book, while PMS (Pantone Matching System) inks are a standardized and universal system of specific ink colors used for 100% accurate color matching.
