Using Emboss to Make Patterns and Characters Stand Out

Using a gloss layer provides an uneven surface, creating an embossed product.

Because the gloss layer can result in a slightly yellowish color, the gloss layer should be placed under the pattern.

However, the color of the gloss can aect the color of the pattern, so a white layer must be printed between the

gloss and the pattern.

[1]: Pattern printing

[2]: White printing for improved color development

[3]: Gloss layering for creating unevenness

Procedure

A Create the print data and save it as a rasterized le.

1 Create the print data using Adobe Illustrator or some other drawing software.

Make three layers, and stack them in the order shown above.

Congure the settings for each layer ([1] to [3]) as follows.

Layer name Swatch (*1) Overprint Fill (*2)

Layer [1] CMYK No On

Layer [2] White Spot1 On

Layer [3] Gloss Spot2 O󰀨
