Digital foiling – tips and tricks
Since the 1960s, people have been doing what used to be called ‘rub downs’ to get the foil to adhere to the ink beneath it. But now, rather than relying on the heat and pressure of a stylus rubbing the transfer, we use heat and the press to reactivate our ink and get the foil to stick. It’s quite ingenious but very hard to do well, which is why we have spent years testing and
perfecting it.
