Thermography

Thermography printing is a technique that I have not yet looked at and this could be the answer instead of having it uv spot varnished and embossed.

A highly cost effective way to add a gloss raised finish to all or part of printed products.

Fully compatible with laser printers.

Ideal for Invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips.

We can print to bespoke order on any thickness of material.

Ideal for use in conjunction with foiling, embossing and lithography.

Thermography is a process that applies powder to ink while the ink is wet and is heated and cured to give a high gloss raised image.

Printed sheets are passed though a powder hopper on a conveyer belt allowing the powder to stick to the wet ink.  Excess thermo powder is then vacuumed off and the sheet continues along the belt into an oven there the thermo powder becomes molten.

Whilst in it molten state the thermographed sheet is exposed to ultra violate where it is cured and is instantly dry to the touch ensuring that the finished stationery can be used through a laser print.
