Blind Stamp
A blind stamp ('blind' meaning uncoloured) is an image, design or lettering on an art print or book formed by creating a depression in the paper or other material. It is the opposite of paper embossing, embossing which refers to a design created by ''raising'' the paper above the surrounding area. It is also distinct from foil stamping, which is a depression that is filled with a thin layer of metal, usually gold. A blind stamp is often unobtrusive, and careful inspection may be necessary to establish its presence. Occasionally seen on the covers and spines of older books, blind stamps may be quite decorative. Libraries or book owners often make use of a blind stamp to mark their copies in the same way that a bookplate denotes ownership, and legal firms have taken to marking their documents in such a way. In 1838 the guild of the ''Printsellers' Association'' was set up, later known as the ''Fine Art Trade Guild'', and one of its aims was to regulate the number of proofs print ...

Paper Embossing
Embossing and debossing are the processes of creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the material but might protrude somewhat on the reverse side. Techniques Often used in combination with foil stamping, embossing alters the surface of paper stock or other substrates by providing a three-dimensional or raised effect on selected areas. The procedure requires the use of two dies: one that is raised and one that is recessed. The dies fit into each other so that when the paper is pressed between them, the raised die forces the stock into the recessed die and creates the embossed impression. A specific level of pressure is applied to the dies in order to squeeze the fibers of the paper, which results in a permanently raised area in the paper. When the dies are produced, a die maker engraves the desired image into several m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Foil Stamping
Hot stamping or foil stamping is a printing method of relief printing in which pre-dried ink or foils are transferred to a surface at high temperatures. The method has diversified since its rise to prominence in the 19th century to include a variety of processes. After the 1970s, hot stamping became one of the most important methods of decoration on the surface of plastic products. Process In a hot stamping machine, a die is mounted and heated, with the product to be stamped placed beneath it. A metallized or painted roll-leaf carrier is inserted between the two, and the die presses down through it. The dry paint or foil used is impressed into the surface of the product. The dye-stamping process itself is non-polluting because the materials involved are dry. Pressure and heat cause the relevant sections of the foil to become detached from the carrier material and become bonded with the printing surface. Tools Along with foil stamping machines, among the commonly used tools in h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bookplate
An , also known as a bookplate (or book-plate, as it was commonly styled until the early 20th century), is a printed or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. Simple typographical bookplates are termed "book labels". Bookplates often bear a motif relating to the book's owner, such as a coat-of-arms, crest (heraldry), crest, badge, motto, or a design commissioned from an artist or designer. The name of the owner usually follows an inscription such as "from the books of..." or "from the library of...", or in Latin, "". Bookplates are important evidence for the provenance of books. The most traditional technique used to make bookplates is Burin_(engraving), burin engraving. The engraved copper matrix is then printed with an intaglio press on paper, and the resulting print can be pasted into the book to indicate ownership. In the United States, bookplates replaced book rhymes (which replaced Book curse, book curses) after the 19th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
