Question
Existing PSD file needs text to be ready for hot foil stamping...
I received files (PSD, PDF and EPS, containing just the text layer and template) that were prepared by someone else and they need to be converted for hot foil stamping.
I have looked up and found a lot of information and videos about how to create a PSD file and prepare it for the process, but nothing that tells me how to edit an existing file (files).
Vague instructions from the printer (in Czech Republic) have not been helpful as far as getting anything done, but this is all of the info I have received:
Embossing, hot foil stamping
The artwork should be always created in curves/ vector graphic, and either in special
spot color (called e.g. foil) as a part of the actual artwork, or in 100% black, but this
should be in a separate file. We can also accept high-resolution line-art images, but
the resolution should not be less than 1200 dpi. These specifications also apply for
spot-varnish artwork.
and:
"Incorrect/insufficient artwork for hot foil stamping, embossing, spot UV varnish, etc. " 300 dpi / rastr
I don’t understand why it is so complicated...but I think I have to start from the original PSD file and adjust things from there...I have no clue...
Any help greatly appreciated...
