Metallic Specialty Colors:

HarrisG — Mon, 10 May 2010 13:44:12 +0000

Metallic inks are available in three reflective colors: gold, silver or bronze plus a new array of pastel colors. Caution should be exercised when specifying metallic inks for small, finite type, as the metallic particles used in these inks are not as finely ground as color pigments. A rich surface gloss can be achieved by a second pass through the press to “burnish” the surface of the ink. Burnishing forces the metallic particles to flatten and reflect more light. It can also reveal extremely subtle details within the engraved image.

Website Redesign

Specifying Papers for Engraving:

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:49:28 +0000

Engraved images may be reproduced on virtually any paper, provided the paper is strong enough to accept the pressure of the press.
The high-tensile strength of cotton-fiber papers is ideal for engraving.
