When it comes to creating artwork for foil printing jobs, there are some basic things to remember.
Firstly, any image which you want foiling needs to be either in outline or solid or a mixture of both, with no half tones or gradients, It must be set at 300dpi and turned to black and then saved as a PDF file.
Alternatively, we can create the artwork for you, according to your specifications, at a cost.
If you are a 'trade' customer you will presumably be submitting artwork which is 'printer friendly'!
Whatever the source of the artwork, it needs to be turned to colour black, at 300dpi and saved as a PDF file ideally but, if its a 'stand alone' image, a file saved as a JPEG will suffice. If your wanting us to do all the printing for a job,that is foiling and litho/, then we require the artwork to be on separate PDF files.
From the completed artwork, the printing plate (block/die) is produced (in negative).
Generally made of Magnesium, but 'dies' can be made of steel, brass or copper.
We can obtain 100's of quality foils from the leading suppliers in the UK, including Kurz, FoilCo and Phillips.
So, if you require a specific foil shade to match a particular Pantone number, just inquire and we will do our best to match a foil to your requirement.
Please note that specially ordered foils will incur an extra cost.
We would be pleased to hear from anyone regarding any of the foil printing services we offer.
Please contact us by email or by phone.
