Full Color Foil or Cold Foil Process HELPFUL DESIGN TIPS
Posted in foil process business cards on 01.02.10
The full color foil process has a few different names flying around the web. Luice Design refers to the process as Full Color Foil because you can have a full color image printed on foil! Cold Foil Process is the technique used by the press department so either one really works for us.
This sample photo of this full color foil business card show's how you can create a hologram like effect using the foil properly and photoshop properly. Katie… our head designer only used the Full Color Foil on the motorcycle rider and the product image. The background was slightly blurred to help POP the two foreground images. Call us anytime to discuss this graphic design technique or just to talk about anything creative.
We have lots of cool printing techniques and options on our website but that's not all we can do. This is why we have a Custom Printing Quote Form. If you have a project that doesn't into any of our printing categories, then fill out the form and we'll get back with you.

16pt Matte Finish Business Card – Why So Popular?
Posted in 16pt matte business cards on 25.01.10
Yeah it's true… the 16pt Matte Finish Business Card is the most popular card in our line up. She has the shear numbers to prove it and as an Art Director I love the 16pt Matte. What do designers and creatives like about this card? Here's some reasons:
16pt matte is very thick and firm
Inks soak into the matte paper and almost sparkle
Spot UV on the 16pt matte builds a great contrast which means POP!
Matte finish has an organic feel vs a UV coated card… Organic is in.
Detailed graphics look great because we print at 200 line screen
And… You Can Write On Them with a Ball Point Pin!
