Business Card with the Works

Everyone here is really excited to see the finished product for this card we are producing today: it's a 16pt silk card with 2 color foil stamping in light blue foil and silver foil on the front. But it doesn't stop there, we're adding spot UV to the front too and rounded corners! The back has full color printing.

Here is a computer generated mock up of what the card is going to look like, but it is hard to simulate spot UV and foil stamping on screen. You bet we will be posting photographs of these as soon as they get out of the bindery department.

Naughty Creatives At Cat5ive Print – We Love CMYK – Alice In Wonderland 2010

webmaster — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:11:08 +0000

Full Color Foil Process Business Cards have been a big hit for us this year. The product is exciting and unique like most of our clients. If you have not seen Full Color Foil Process then please visit our printing website and request a sample pack today! Speaking of big hits, Tim Burton is going to release with Disney his vision of Alice In Wonderland in March of 2010!

The new instant classic movie is building big expectations, not only among Disney fans, but especially among adults who have read the book, is Tim Burton’s adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. What is already an interesting project, because it is Burton and it is Alice, is flavored by the actors who bring the main characters to life: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter; Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen; Anne Hathaway as the White Queen; and the new face of Australian actress Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Burton has already said he will stay true to the stories’ essence, although the plot is about a 17-year-old Alice that goes back to Wonderland, a place she visited ten years before. Recently, the images of some movie characters have been released and as you might guess, the movie will be a combination of live performance with animation. With Burton’s gift of a kind of insane and mesmerizing creativity; this movie might just surpass the great expectations it is generating. Alice in Wonderland is in pre-production and is expected to open in theaters March 5, 2010.

Full Color Foil Process – CMYKF (the F is for Foil)

How do I set up a file for Full Color Foil Process?

First create a new spot channel in Photoshop: Choose Window > Channels to display the Channels palette. Choose New Spot Channel from the Channels palette menu – If you made a selection, that area will be filled with the currently specified spot color.

Please name the new spot channel “Silver Foil”. Click the color box and choose a color that is different from the rest of the colors in the artwork so that it is easy to distinguish where the foil will be.

If you already have an alpha channel and need to convert it to a spot channel, select the alpha channel in the Channels palette and choose Channel Options from the palette menu. Select Spot Color. If needed, rename the channel to “Silver Foil”. Click the color box, choose the right build color in the Color Picker dialog box, and click OK.

NOTE: You may need to invert the image, if so choose Image > Adjustments > Invert.

Save the file as a DCS2 eps – stands for Desktop Color Separations. This is a special kind of EPS file that can contain spot color channels. Please make sure that only the option “Spot Colors” is checked in the dialog box.

NOTE: If the “Spot Color” option is not available, then a spot channel was not created. Please check, and verify the steps.

The next window should be as follows:
