Thermography & Letterpress
Thermography is produced by adding a thermographic powder to wet ink immediately it comes off the press, the sheets are passed under a heater causing the powder to melt, rise and then dry as a solid. Using a clear powder means it can create a raised text or image in any pantone colour.

Letterpress this is about the oldest method of printing there is. It involves metal block text, that is held in a frame. The block text surface is them coated in ink and that block text is then pushed onto a sheet of paper. Here highly technical modern equipment is used (about 100 years old). Operated by men with grey hair and a real passion for equipment from the industrial revolution.
Just a note to say thank you for pulling out all the stops on the production of the Corporate Booklet, your help and determination was greatly appreciated ...... and the client loved it.
