Question

What is thermography?

Answer

Thermography fuses a resin powder to wet ink and then heats it so the lettering swells into a raised, glossy finish. It mimics the look of engraving at a lower cost.

  • Raised finish: the resin puffs up for a tactile, glossy surface.
  • Engraved look: a premium feel without engraving prices.
  • Best for: business cards and invitations.
  • Design tips: bold type and solid shapes raise cleaner than fine hairlines.
