Cold foil printing, also known as cold foil stamping, is a modern method of printing metallic foil on a substrate in order to enhance the aesthetic of the final product. . Cold foil printing can be done two ways: the older dry lamination process common in the offset printing industry, or the newer, more versatile wet lamination process, which is dominant in the flexo label indus
UV inks for letterpress are in paste form, unlike flexo. Various manufacturers produce UV rotary letterpress machines, viz. Dashen, Nickel, Taiyo Kikai, KoPack, Gallus, etc. – and offer hot/cold foil stamping, rotary die cutting, flatbed die cutting, sheeting, rotary screen printing, adhesive side printing, and inkjet numbering.

Cold stamping, also known as press working, [1] is a manufacturing operation in which thermoplastics in sheet form are cold-formed using methods similar to those used in metalworking. [2] A precut thermoplastic sheet, possibly reinforced, is softened by heating to a temperature particular to the plastic in use.
Ludlow metal typesetting machine in Gutenberg Museum in Fribourg, Switzerland. A Ludlow Typograph is a hot metal typesetting system used in letterpress printing. The device casts bars, or slugs of type, out of type metal primarily consisting of lead. These slugs are used for the actual printing, and then are melted down and recycled on the spot.
A typical industrial roll-to-roll process line. In the field of electronic devices, roll-to-roll processing, also known as web processing, [1] reel-to-reel processing or R2R, [2] is the process of creating electronic devices on a roll of flexible plastic, metal foil, or flexible glass. [3]
Flexography (often abbreviated to flexo) is a form of printing process which utilizes a flexible relief plate. It is essentially a modern version of letterpress, evolved with high speed rotary functionality, which can be used for printing on almost any type of substrate, including plastic, metallic films, cellophane, and paper.
A resurgence of interest in letterpress printing as a hobby, and as a premium commercial product, resulted in the reintroduction of the Adana "Eight-Five" in 2016, when production of the machine was restarted. The basic design has been modified to produce a thicker body shell, capable of achieving the deeper letterpress impression now fashionable.
