Foil blocking relief prints




Following the success of the releif prints from prespex cut on the laser cutter from raster TIFF files I explored the idea of heat transfer of foil onto the prints using foil transfer film and a heat press. Initial results were poor. However, experimenting with time/temperature in the heat press some outcomes were achieved. I explored this further by taking photo copies of the prints and testing the foil process again. This gave much more reliable results. I have only tested this with metalic foils but have now ordered some flat colour foils to experiment with multicolour outcomes realised from the heat transfer of these materials. Images posted are not of great quality (from my phone) but show the idea.
