The Future of Foil
What is Cold Foil?
Cold Foil is an amazing new print
technology that allows you to apply metallic foil, in line, at
press speed in an infinite spectrum of colors. Diversified
Graphic Machinery offers cold foil application systems
engineered and designed to work with your existing offset,
sheet-fed lithographic printing press. Cold foil delivers
quality foil imaging at a cost competitive price, eliminating
the need to take your project off-line for finishing. The
process utilizes standard printing plates so that your
make-ready is done in a flash. Most importantly, your operator
needs no additional skills to operate the system. With cold
foil, registration of the foil to ink is exactly the same as the
registration of ink to ink.
How does it work?
Cold foil technology uses an ink based adhesive that is printed with a standard lithographic printing plate onto the substrate. The foil is then released onto the substrate where the ink based adhesive has been applied. The remaining printing units are used to overprint the sheet. CMYK and spot colors can be printed onto the sheet and over the foil. The result is a brilliant foil effect.
Cold Foil is available as a value added upgrade to
your new or existing Offset Printing Press.
