Foil Considerations
For standard and deluxe covers, please realize when deciding on your imprint color, or shade of color, the color of cover you choose should be considered. A black imprint may be considered bold on tan or orange, but will fade into the fabric if placed on navy or dark brown. Likewise, gold and silver can be a very subtle choice if choosing a light color fabric - highly visible at only certain angles as the light catches the imprint.
Standard foil color choices are:
-
gold
-
silver
-
bronze
-
black
-
red
the cost of these are included in the binding price - as stipulated. More foil, multiple colors, flat pigments, etc. are all available at more expense.
These
photographs were taken of the same cover embossing placed on
blue and brown
print material. Each photo, though taken with different lighting conditions
and angles, is of the same two cover swatches.
Standard embossing included in standard and deluxe covers, at no extra charge for a limited selection of colors. No-charge foils, recommended for darker materials include shiny gold, silver, and bronze. No-charge foils, recommended for lighter cover fabrics include black and red. Specialty foils, mattes, other colors and pigments can be special quoted.
