Thermography
Full Color Printing was very expensive, now it has come down in price, but before that a lot of printed stuff, mostly business cards were printed with raised type, known as thermography printing.

See video below!
Thermographic printing uses a special ink, on an offset printing press similar to a AB Dick. Then a powder like resin is applied, on a special equipment, that is heated and causing the printed area to puff up, to raise on the surface of the paper.

That raised printing gave it a 3D like feel effect.

Often used in

- Diplomas
- Gift Wrap
