Thermography PrintingAre you looking at a way of making your letter heads and stationary stand out from your competitors? Why not take advantage of the recent advances in technology and have your stationary printed using the new
Thermography Printing techniques. The principles of
Thermography Printing are extremely simple. Thermographic powder is applied to the surface of a printed sheet and the surplus is removed by suction, vibrating or shaking, with the powder adhering only to the wet ink. The method of excess powder removal is dependant on the model that your stationary is printed on. The printed and powdered sheet is placed face upwards on to a conveyor belt which carries it under the heater.
Thermography Printing powder has the characteristic, when heated of swelling slightly and fusing to form a raised glossy surface very similar to that produced by embossing. The powder is itself colourless so the embossed area takes the colour of the ink. Powders are also available which contain gold, silver, or bronze ingredients.
