Main article: Thermographic printing
Thermographic printing is a system that involves numerous degrees but can be applied in a low-price manufacturing process. The manner includes printing the desired designs or text with an ink that stays wet, as opposed to drying on contact with the paper. The paper is then dusted with a powdered polymer that clings to the ink. The paper is vacuumed or agitated, robotically or by using hand, to get rid of excess powder, after which heated to near combustion. The moist ink and polymer bond and dry, ensuing in a raised print floor just like the end result of an engraving technique.
Embossing
Example of an embossed design
Embossing is a printing approach used to create raised surfaces within the converted paper inventory. The process is based upon mated dies that press the paper right into a form that can be observed on both the back and front surfaces. Two things are required all through the system of embossing- a die and a stock. The end result is a 3-dimensional (3-D) impact that emphasizes a specific vicinity of the design.
Engraving

The result is a design this is barely raised on the floor of the paper and protected in ink. Due to the cost of the process and expertise required, many clients choose thermographic printing, a process that effects in a in addition raised print surface, however thru exceptional approach at less value.
