Foil printing, Thermal transfer
- Foil printing (heat embossing)
Imprinting the foil using heat embossing techniques can be seen as a "precursor" for the thermal transfer imprint and is therefore utilised less.
Heat embossing does, however, allows special opportunities: effects can be embossed, e. g. silver foil (shining silver in contrary to a rather matt silver surface using a bubble-jet printer), silver foil with special effects, gold foil, hologram foil.
Admittedly, the aforementioned foils fade after washing when compared to normal colour foils are wash resistant up to 95°C.
Glücksband offers a wide choice of foils. With higher quantities order, one colour can also be patterned.
