  • A printed paper drops off the printing press onto a conveyor
  • Thermography powder is shaken on top of the entire sheet while the conveyor moves the sticky inked paper
  • The thermographic powder attaches to the wet ink
  • The extra powder is vacuumed up and stored for re-use
  • The coated sheet passes through an oven with temperatures ranging from 900 to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit

    • In order to obtain the best thermographic printing results, off-set equipment is recommended, although the process can be completed by using letterpress equipment as well.

    The thermography industry has made great advancements in the past few years. We have better and faster thermography machines and fancier and more versatile thermography powders. We have just begun to realize all of the different items that can be created with thermography. Items that have a different texture, a shine and feel that can help get your work noticed.
