Paper + Foil Pairings

Feb 11, 2026

Creative Constrains 
Working with established material pairings at the proofing stage creates a more cohesive final result. These selections ensure the materials compliment each other, providing better control over the final experience.

Calibrated Transfer
Success is measured by the release of the pigment or foil to the substrate. We utilize pairings calibrated to the surface and density of the paper to ensure sharp edge definition and consistent results throughout a production run.

Repeatable Execution
A technical proof-of-concept must be repeatable regardless of run size. The material pairing must be stable enough to withstand the mechanical displacement of the press, ensuring an impression that does not compromise the sheet.
