INTRODUCTION
For years nothing has equaled the appearance and quality of foil imprinting. Printing with ink does not offer the
vibrant color of foil. In addition, foil imprinting imparts a 3-dimensional effect that is not obtainable with
conventional ink printing. Foils are uniformly opaque, odorless, non-liquid and are smear free.
The foil imprinting process transfers the color of the foil to an item by the application of heat and pressure. The
three basic elements needed to create a quality foil imprint are the proper amount of heat, pressure and dwell (the
length of time the type and dies are in contact with the product.)
AAmstamp's personalizing machines are designed to give you the power of a big press in a table top machine.
The
2000 Series Machine and it’s accessories, type, dies, emblems and foils are the highest quality and easiest to
use products available today. After reviewing this manual, please call our customer service department toll free
