Foilglazer ll: Enhance Your Designs with Over-Foil Printing

UCHIDA's Foilglazer ll is a revolutionary machine that empowers you to combine over-toner foiling and lamination in a single device. By integrating Foilglazer ll with overprinting, you can unlock the potential of "CMYK + foil" to create stunning, eye-catching applications and add significant value to your printed materials.

Let's explore the simple yet impactful process:

Step 1: Prepare for Over-Toner Foiling
1. Create a Dedicated Layer: Designate a specific layer for over-toner foiling.
2. Define Foiling Areas: Assign 100% K (black) to the areas intended for foiling.
3. Print in Greyscale: Print the designated layer in greyscale.

Step 2: Over-Toner Foiling with Foilglazer ll
1. Load the Prints: Place the greyscale prints onto Foilglazer ll.
1. Activate and Adhere: The machine applies heat, reactivating the toner and allowing the foil to adhere precisely to the designated areas.

Step 3: Over-Foil Printing
1. Reload the Paper: Reinsert the over-toner foiled paper into your digital printer.
2. Print in CMYK: Print the coloured artwork using CMYK to achieve the desired over-foil effect.
3. Metallic Magic: The coloured layer is printed directly onto the gold or silver foiled areas, resulting in a stunning metallic finish.
Note: The final appearance may vary depending on factors such as paper type, printer model, toner, and foil selection.

By following these steps and leveraging the capabilities of Foilglazer ll, you can elevate your designs to new heights. Experiment with different foil colours and patterns to create unique and captivating visual effects that leave a lasting impression.
