Hi,
We send files to our diemakers without problem but foil/embossing is still done old way and it hasn't evolved.
Usually, we produce B&W film and send to embossing/foiling company but our imagesetter is down and we are looking at alternatives.
Does anyone have experience related to acetate and vellum in printing/prepress?
I know that vellum and acetate do not have enough density like film, but they should be usable for B&W work.
One test we did on clear acetate was refused by outside supplier as not having enough density.
I've read that for screen printing, both vellum and acetate are more than adequate.
Keep in mind that we don't care about registration or screen, it's solid black one separation.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
