Engraving matters

Stamping and embossing die engravers can offer much more than a finished die. According to Hutchison, "It is important to always consult with your engraver in the prepress planning stages to ensure that all critical areas are being addressed and that you get the proper die or cylinder for your applications. This helps to avoid unnecessary delays and costs associated with trying to fix the problem after the die is on press. It also helps to ensure that the finished job meets the expectations of the customer and designer. Your engraver can often provide suggestions to improve the job with the die and some engravers also offer makeready technical assistance."
