Raised ink Business Cards
Add-on Raised Ink

Add on Raised ink is achieved through a traditional printing process known as thermography. Raised ink is similar to Spot UV however raised ink unlike Spot UV is raised. The raised ink itself is clear and sits on top of the designated printed area. Raised ink does not affect the backside of the card (unlike embossing which affects both sides).

Raised Ink is available to the following type of cards

Silk •  Suede  •  Nouveau  •  Linen  • Silk  •  Tant  •  Scotland  •  Aquarelle  •  Popset

Note:
Unlike the Spot UV, you can not bleed off the raised ink to the edge of the card. Your raised ink area must be contained within the card area or 1/8" away from the edge of the card.
