What are the challenges to foil stamping? “To name a few: colour matching, bleed problems, as well as layering issues that can arise from the colours you use and the materials you use them on. However, these challenges are what make print projects different from digital and hopefully more memorable. We love using foil stamping and similar stamp processes because of the impression they leave (pun intended) on the people that physically interact with these pieces on a more personal level than, say, digital.”
