We have 3D films, high definition TVs. Never have communications been more powerful, more engaging, more appealing to the senses. And now, 3D (or Dimensional) printing is taking customers' senses by storm.
Creating the dimensional cover required a lot of collaboration between our designer and Headleys' digital manager Will Inshaw, but he was helpful every step of the way. He even delivered hard copy proofs (themselves a rarity these days) in person to us in Bristol!
Performed inline, dimensional printing achieves maximum impact within tight deadlines. Dimensional Ink is applied to the printed page within the fifth imaging unit of the digital press. Precise ink control enables the definition of intricate textures within the printed image, at variable heights.
The cover is spectacular, as we had hoped. The Dimensional Ink effect is not only tactile, it gives a real depth and detail to the image that I've not seen with a standard four-colour process.
Sounds complicated? It's never been easier. Our handy Dimensional Printing System Creative and File Preparation Guidelines provide a step-by-step approach to file creation. Proofs can be provided quickly and cheaply, giving you piece of mind. Expert knowledge will always be on hand; call us any time.
Use it to mimic a specific texture; make hair feel like hair, wood grain like wood grain, an orange like... well, you get the picture. The result? Tactile, visually stunning text and images that make sure your printed communications stand out over the competition.
