Andrejštajn: gold printing of cards with foil

Video with Andreshtjan · Slovenian version

Golden Highlights on the Card

In this episode, from the usual laser print, I prepare a card with a metallic gloss. The label or logo selected is first printed with a black toner, then used the appropriate foil for transfer and hot laminate. The metal effect is produced on the printed parts of the graphics.

Procedure from graphics to final product

1. I prepare a graphic with clear black surfaces and print it with a laser printer.
2. Cut off a piece of the appropriate foil that covers the selected part of the print.
3. I process the prepared set with laminate as instructed for the foil and device used.
4. I remove the carrier foil and check the transmission evenness.

Before making the series, I try a combination of paper, toner, foil and laminate settings. The quality of transmission depends on the overall combination, so I first assess the result in one piece.

More opportunities for personalisation

I use the same approach for invitations, cards, gift cards and small series of printed material. The logo in an animated case shows the appearance of gold printing.

In the Black Council you can find foils for transfer and related press service. Below I added more detailed instructions, frequent questions and examples of other metallized effects. When buying, select the foil for the intended transfer mode.
