The process isn't very involved:</p> <p>1) Create a die from camera-ready artwork. The dies are usually made from magnesium, using an acid etching process. Usually, professionally done (outsourced).</p> <p>2) Attach the die to the heat platen of a hot stamping machine. Heat to approx. 200 degrees. Gold generally needs less heat than other colors.</p> <p>3) Place matte board in position.</p> <p>4) Place gold foil between the die and the matte board, either by placing a roll of foil in an auto-advance mechanism, or by manually placing a piece on the matte board.</p> <p>5) Print, by pulling the handle or pressing the footswitch of a pneumatically-operated machine.</p> <hr /><h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
