Question

Is it possible to embrosse on top of printed black ink?

Answer

Yes, embossing can be applied over printed areas, including printed black ink. The raised effect and the ink coexist, so you can add dimension right on top of a printed element.

  • Embossing over a printed area is generally feasible.
  • For custom combinations, such as embossing precisely on a specific ink color, it is best to have the team review the design first.
  • Confirming feasibility up front avoids registration surprises on tight designs.
