Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
That's right, blind debossed! It's just like letterpress printing but without the ink, and with the impression cranked all the way. We do it on 1950s Heidelberg letterpress printing presses. When you use soft paper, especially 100% Cotton paper, you can get the deepest imprint into the sheet.Sometimes if we need to make an extra-deep imprint, we will use a metal die on our hot foil stamping press, a 1970's Kluge. The heat helps to flatten the paper fibers for an crisp look.Then we will die-cut the sheet after printing if it is a special shape. Otherwise it is trimmed on the guillotine paper cutter.
