Engraving
Engraving adds the highest level of professionalism to business communications and creates the most elegant wedding invitations and greeting cards. Its precise lines and hand-crafted feel have been the standard of excellence in the printing industry for centuries.
What Is Engraving?
The text or design gets etched into a copper plate, which is then coated with ink. The printer presses the plate into paper, leaving the slightly raised ink on the front of the piece and the tell-tale engraving “bruise” in the back. The opaque inks that engravers use allow engraving to be performed on any color paper, even black. Since the ink is 100-percent water-based, engraving is compatible with laser printers, and it’s the most environmentally friendly printing process.
