Cold Foil
Cold Foil is an amazing new print technology that allows you to apply metallic foil, in line, at press speed in an infinite spectrum of colors. Sterling Toggle Cold Foil application systems are designed and designed to work with your existing offset, sheet-fed lithographic printing press.
Cold Foil delivers quality foil imaging at a cost-competitive price, eliminating the need to take your project off- line for finishing. The process uses standard printing plates so that your make-ready is done in a flash. Most importantly, your operator needs no additional skills to operate the system.
How it works
Cold Foil technology uses an ink-based adhesive that is printed with a standard lithographic printing plate onto the substrate. The foil is then released onto the substrate where the adhesive has been applied. The remaining printing units are used to overprint the sheet. CMYK and spot colors can be printed onto the sheet and over the foil.
