Are there any types of art to avoid when foil stamping?
A. Very bold type or artwork: because of pressure needed to transfer foil, there is a lot of gain when foil stamping. If type is very bold, letters tend to run together and small openings in type may plug. Solid areas: solid areas exceeding 3 square inches should be avoided because of difficulty getting a consistent foil coverage. Small type: type smaller that 12 point are potential problems especially bold type. Reverse type: when reversing type in foil stamping, avoid roman typefaces and type must be open and bold in order to prevent plugging.
