Solopress has expanded its range of colour options on foil printing.

The new colours include bright gold, green, turquoise, blue, red and black. The Essex-based printer uses Konica Minolta’s JETVarnish 3DS technology to apply the coloured foils, followed by a sealing coat of UV varnish for added shine and durability. This method allows them to print both large expanses of foil and delicate details as fine as 0.5mm.

Print products benefitting from the new options include flyers, leaflets, business cards, greeting cards, postcards, invitations, brochures and presentation folders.

Managing director Simon Cooper said, ‘Following the success of foil printed products, we felt the time was right to expand the range and offer a broader choice of colours. With Christmas approaching, we’re hoping customers will embrace the new options and add some colour and shine to their seasonal print.

‘Foil printing requires customers to provide two layers of artwork: one that indicates the foiled area, and one with the remaining design elements to be printed conventionally.’
