 ENGRAVING

A copper or steel plate is etched and then inked. The excess is wiped clean, and the ink remaining in the etching is applied to the paper when the paper is pressed to the plate. The press forces the paper into the grooves of the plate. The result is a distinctive three dimensional image rich in exquisite detail.

THERMOGRAPHY

This method simulates the look and feel of engraving, but can be executed with more speed. The image is flat printed, but while the ink is still wet, a resinous powder is applied and heated, causing the ink to expand, creating a raised effect.

LITHOGRAPHY

Your invitations can be printed flat, without the raised effect characteristic of thermographed documents.
