Frugal Foil Usage

"Careful planning of a job coupled with a machine that can accurately control the foil advance is absolutely critical to get the maximum usage out of a reel of foil. The job planning needs to take into consideration the size of the image to be stamped and the distance between the images, including the safety that you need to allow between one image and the next—directly dependent on the accuracy of the machine control. The goal should be to calculate the job so that the maximum amount of foil can be used," Raney said.
