Unseen Cover Emboss Practice

For the mock-up of the book we have decided to include details such as cover finishes as well which will give the photography students a much better idea of what they are to expect. For this we will be producing a white foil on the reverse and a blind emboss on the front.

Emboss Testing through mangler in Studio 1 produced very subtle results and resulting glue stuck to the paper made stencils stick in place and was particularly hard to remove, the glue then removed the white foil placed by Chloe and Emma:


The resulting deboss impression on the reverse however was really nice:


We will therefore be using the vinyl cutter downstairs for the white foil representation and the press in the print rooms for the embossing.
