烫金箔印刷, 是怎样的一种工艺?
你说的烫金箔印刷,实际上就是通常说的烫金.
烫金就是借助一定的压力和温度,运用装在烫印机上的模版,将金属箔或彩色颜料箔按烫印模版的图文要求转印到被烫材料表面的一种加工工艺。
金属印刷是指其承印物为金属的印刷,也就是把图案印刷在金属上面,是在金属上面进行的印刷而不是在纸上。金属印花是金属印刷方面的一种,只不过是印的图案是花样而已,而金属彩印也是金属印刷,只不过印的花色是多种颜色而已,没有什么特殊的区别。比如易拉罐就属于金属印刷,单一颜色可归属于金属印花,多种颜色归属于金属彩印,需要不同颜色多道工序印,即套印。
Here's a rundown of everything I do to add foil to my prints! Fair warning before we begin, this process is not as easy as it may look. There is a lot that can go wrong and the results are not perfect every time. You can also have drastically different results by changing any step of the process or any materials. If you are planning on making foil designs using this method, I advise you to do your own research apart from this tutorial, and be prepared to experiment with what materials and methods work best for you! If you are having quality issues with your foil prints, check out my blog post titled "Issues When Foiling and How to Combat Them".
下面是我为了在打印稿上覆箔而做的所有事情的纲要! 在我们开始之前提醒一下,这个过程并不像看起来那么简单。 有很多事情可能会出错,结果并非每次都是完美的。 你也可以通过改变工艺的任何步骤或任何材料来获得截然不同的结果。 如果你打算使用这种方法制作铝箔图案,我建议你在本教程之外花时间做自己的研究,试验什么材料和方法最适合你! 如果你的铝箔印刷出现问题,可以看看我的博客帖子,题目是“铝箔印刷的问题以及如何解决它们”。

The first step is to create a digitalized design. I draw my designs using the Procreate app and apple pencil on my 2017 iPad Pro. However, any digital design will work as long as it is entirely black ink. The foil will not stick to any grays or colors. If you prefer to draw with pen and paper, you can digitalize your design yourself on photoshop, illustrator etc. You can also try the adobe capture app, which automatically creates a digital, vector image of a hand drawn design. Keep in mind the resolution of the design you are making. Since you will be printing it, a high resolution design will give the most crisp results.
第一步是创造图案的电子稿。 我使用 Procreate app 和 apple pencil 在我的2017 iPad Pro 上绘制我的图案。 当然,其他 App 也一样可以,只要是完全的黑色线条就行。 铝箔不会粘附到任何灰色或其他颜色。 如果你喜欢用纸和笔画,你可以自己在 photoshop,illustrator 等软件上将你的设计稿转换为电子稿。 你也可以试试 Adobe Capture app,它可以为手绘设计稿自动创建矢量图像。 请注意你设计的分辨率。 因为如果要打印,一个高分辨率的设计将给予最清晰的结果。
The next step is to print your design. The printer you use is incredibly important for this process to work. It must be a laser printer that uses laser toner - not inkjet. I use the Lexmark ms 317. If you are considering buying a printer for foiling, I would highly recommend this one. Here's a few things to keep in mind when looking for an acceptable printer: it needs to use laser toner and needs to be able to print with thick paper. My printer has a manual paper feeder that allows for printing on up to 300 gsm paper. Thicker paper is important for the foil to adhere property and look professional. This is definitely the largest barrier to entry when starting foiling, however fear not! You can also get prints made at a print shop (just make sure to bring your own card stock and specify that you need monochrome laser toner). Alternatively, you can ask around at your local library or university to see if they have public printers. My first year of foiling and selling on Etsy, I exclusively used a public printer at my local library that had all the features I mentioned above. You don't need to apply the foil immediately after printing, so it's totally fine to wait until you get home to foil your prints!
下一步是打印你的图案。 您使用的打印机对于这个过程的工作非常重要。 它必须是一个使用激光碳粉的激光打印机,而不是喷墨打印机。 我用的是 Lexmark ms 317。 如果你正在考虑购买一台用于锡箔印刷的打印机,我强烈推荐这一台。 这里有一些事情要记住,当寻找一个可接受的打印机: 它需要使用激光碳粉,同时要能够打印厚纸张。 我的打印机有一个手动送纸装置,可以打印300克重的纸张。 较厚的纸张对于锡箔是重要的,可以保持粘着力和专业外观。 对于刚开始接触锡箔打印的人,这绝对是最大的障碍,但不要害怕! 你也可以在打印店打印(只要确保带上你自己的卡片纸,并指定你需要单色激光碳粉)。 或者,你也可以到当地的图书馆或大学查询一下,看看是否有公共打印机。 在 Etsy 上销售的第一年,我只使用当地图书馆的一台公共打印机,这台打印机具备我上面提到的所有功能。 你不需要在印刷完成后立即覆箔纸,所以等到回家后再覆箔完全没问题!
Next up: foiling! As mentioned above, I use Heidi Swapp minc foil. It's my preferred brand, however Deco Foil is a slightly cheaper option that gives relatively the same results, they just offer less color options and most their foil comes in smaller sheets. Both of these brands are easiest to buy on Amazon, you can also get select Heidi Swapp foils from Jo Anne's Fabrics and Walmart. My laminator of choice is the Amazon basics laminator. I have had the best results with this one, and it's one of the most inexpensive options so I would definitely recommend it. I've tried cheaper laminators, and they tend to crease the foil almost every time. Another option is the Heidi Swapp minc machine. This is significantly more expensive. However, since this machine is designed specifically for the purpose of foiling, it has its advantages. It's better for extremely detailed designs, it also comes with a protective sleeve so your foil will never crease. If you are considering foiling extensively, I would recommend this option. However, if you are just trying this out for fun, the Amazon laminator works just fine!
接下来是: 过锡箔! 如上所述,我使用 Heidi Swapp minc 箔片。 这是我的首选品牌,其他装饰箔是一个稍微便宜的选择,提供相对相同的结果,只是他们提供较少的颜色选择,并且通常他们的铝箔尺寸较小。 这两个品牌都是在亚马逊上最容易买到的,你也可以从 Jo Anne’ s Fabrics 和沃尔玛买到 Heidi Swapp foils。 我选择的层压机是亚马逊倍思层压机。 我已经有了这一个最好的结果,它是最便宜的选择之一,所以我肯定会推荐它。 我试过更便宜的塑封机,它们几乎每次都会把铝箔弄皱。 另一个选择是 Heidi Swapp minc machine。 这显然更加昂贵。 然而,由于这台机器是专门设计用于过锡箔的,它的优势在于细节设计非常周到,它有一个保护性的封套,确保你的铝箔不会有折痕。 如果您考虑大量制作锡箔印刷,我会推荐这个选择。 然而,如果你只是为了好玩而尝试,亚马逊的热层压机工作得很好!
Turn on your laminator and wait for it to heat up. I use the 5mm setting on my Amazon laminator, but I encourage you to try both settings to see which you prefer. Apply the foil colored side up, resting the dull side against the paper. Smooth out the foil as much as possible before putting it through. I also like to blow on the paper first before adding foil, as any dust particles, crumbs, etc that are on the paper will block the foil from sticking in those areas. Try to use a straight edge of the foil on the side going into the laminator first. Also, try to line up that side as close to the edge of the printed portion as possible. This way, the foil melts almost immediately to the toner and is less likely to crease or get stuck in the laminator.
打开你的层压机,等待它加热。 在我的亚马逊层压机上我使用5毫米的设置,但我鼓励你尝试这两种设置,看看你喜欢哪种。 将有颜色的箔片朝上,把暗淡的一面贴在纸上。 在穿过之前,尽可能把锡箔纸弄平。 我喜欢先在纸的表面吹一下,然后再添加箔片,因为纸上的任何灰尘颗粒、碎屑等都会阻止箔片粘在这些地方。 尝试让铝箔的直边一侧先进入层压机。 另外,尽可能在排版时将打印部分靠近边缘。 这样,铝箔可以立即融化在碳粉上,就不会出现折痕或卡在层压机。
Once your print has gone through the laminator it's time to peel! There's really no special trick to doing this, and you can peel immediately after it comes through. Just peel off and voila!
一旦你的打印已经通过层压机,就可以剥离了! 真的没有什么特别的技巧,你可以马上剥离。 只要一撕,见证奇迹的时刻!

磨砂质感的铝箔纸印刷以下印刷工艺可以解决的:
胶印连线的UV磨砂光油,印刷出来就是你现在看到的效果
正常印刷后再丝网印刷UV磨砂光油,也可以达到要的效果
正常印刷后通过压纹机压纹同样可以达到现在的产品效果.
有机溶剂可以使用:丙酮(少量)/乙醇/丙二醇甲醚/二丙二醇二甲醚。安全环保。
先在承印物上试印,首先确认是否附着,如果附着不理想可以添加0.5克/公斤的:乙酸丁酯。
烘干后试验结合力牢度,不理想时添加酮树脂(Ketone resin-80) 4-5%.
使用以溶剂染料型为着色剂的印刷品,颜色艳丽饱和透明的特殊效果。
印刷品印后加工工艺主要有上光、覆膜、金银墨印刷、烫金和凹凸压印等。
上光是在印刷品表面涂布一层无色透明涂料的工艺过程。上光有三种形式:涂布、压光和UV上光。经过上光的印刷品表面光亮、美观,增强了印刷品的防潮性能、耐晒性能、抗水性能、耐磨性能、防污性能等。上光适用于书籍封面、插页、年历、画册、商品包装等方面。
覆膜是将塑料薄膜覆盖于印刷品表面形成纸塑合一的印刷品。在印刷品表面覆盖一层透明塑料薄膜,增强了印刷面光亮度,改善了耐磨强度和防水、防污、耐光、耐热等性能,极大地提高商品和书刊封面的艺术效果和耐用强度,对保护包装装潢印刷效果,延长货品寿命,提高商品的竞争能力,作用十分显著。
金银墨印刷是采用金色或银色的油墨,经过印刷过程将金色或银色的图文转印到印刷品上。图文具有金色或银色光泽。印刷出的图文金(银)光闪闪,装饰效果非常好。金银墨印刷增强了印刷面的艺术效果,提高了商品的竞争能力,广泛应用于包装盒印刷、书籍封面印刷和商标印刷。
烫印也称烫金、烫箔,是用加热的方法将粘合剂熔融,而把金属箔片或色片烫印到纸张或其他材料表面,以形成特殊的装饰效果。烫印有金属箔烫印、电化铝烫印,还有粉箔烫印。目前大部分采用电化铝烫印。在印刷品表面烫印电化铝,能增强印刷品的艺术效果,装饰效果非常明显,主题突出醒目。电化铝箔化学性质稳定,可以经受长时间日晒雨淋不变色,长久保持金属光泽,烫印工艺简单,经济效益好,广泛用于印刷书刊封面、包装装潢、商标图案、塑料制品等,为各种商品增添了光彩,提高了档次。
凹凸压印是利用压力在已经印好图文或未印好图文的纸或纸板表面压出具有立体感的凸形图案或文字。凹凸压印是包装装潢中常用的一种印刷方法,有些书籍封面也采用凹凸压印的方法。凹凸压印是一种特殊的印刷加工工艺,它是浮雕艺术在印刷上的移植和应用,能在面积不宽,厚度不大的平面上凸起图案形象,使平面印刷品产生类似浮雕的艺术效果,画面具有层次丰富,图文清晰,立体感强,图像形象逼真等特点,是纸制品和纸容器表面装饰加工方法之一。
