Palo Alto, California – November 29, 2018 – You already know that foil instantly lends quality and value to everything, from business cards and direct-mail pieces to artwork and invitations. What you might not know is that there are five distinct ways to add foil to your work, including digital means that are well within the reach of nearly every budget, and can be used even on small print runs.

In an exclusive PaperSpecs webinar, founder Sabine Lenz throws open the doors to glittering inspiration with a whirlwind look at these techniques, aided by three experts ready to share their extensive knowledge as well as inspiring examples: DataGraphic President Glenn Schuster on hot foil stamping, D’Andrea Visual Communications Owner David D’Andrea on cold foil transfer, and SunDance Managing Director JohnHenry Ruggieri on foil substrates and digital foiling.

“Every year I go to print and creative conferences like HOW Design Live, and every year I’m met with looks of disbelief when I bring up digital foiling options, which is a real shame,” Lenz confides. “It’s why we recently released our free ultimate Foil Cheat Sheet PDF, and why I’m so excited to be joined by three experts in the field who will share some fantastic pieces that show off all the various foiling techniques.”
