Thermography

Thermography

A cost-effective alternative to engraving whilst also achieving a raised, textured effect. Unlike engraving, where the paper itself is raised, thermography raises only the printed image, preventing bruising on the back of the material.

Thermography begins like many other printing processes, with flat litho-printing on a specific paper. While the ink is still wet, a powdered resin is dispersed over the image before running the paper through a heating unit, which melts the resin onto the surface. The result is a high-gloss finish with a texture that resembles soft wax or plastic. However, because uneven melting can occur, this technique is less suitable for solid printed areas or bold text.
