Our Intelligent Dimensional Printing Solution

The Difference You Can See and Feel

Fineline's Intelligent Dimensional Printing Solution is the newest member of our Digital Print Solutions portfolio.

Unmatched digital technology only available from our Digital Production Color Presses, Dimensional Printing gives specified text and images a raised or 3D effect that can help communications stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Dimensional Printing takes place inline, keeping production timely while creating high-impact results that grab a reader’s attention.

Resources and information on how to set up your files for Dimensional Print are available to the left.

How It Works

Dimensional Printing starts by loading Dimensional Clear Dry Ink into the Fifth Imaging Unit of our Digital Press. Dimensional Clear Dry Ink is a new dry ink that creates a clear “raised” layer on top of a page element after fusing. It can be used to enhance graphics, text, or a full color image.

The overall tactile effect is similar to thermography, but with a greater degree of control—Dimensional Printing can be set to produce variable heights, so you can more closely mimic the texture of a specific image. And unlike thermography, which can only be applied to ink, Dimensional Clear Dry Ink does not require ink or an image to adhere to the substrate.

Applications

Dimensional Print is useful as a high-impact visual on a variety of printed pieces. Below is a brief list of the possibilities.

Postcards Brochures & Catalogs Direct Mail Inserts Magazines Newsletters Business Cards Greeting Cards Invitations Certificates Point of Sale Materials

Good for Your Business, Better for the Planet

Dimensional Printing creates prints that are recyclable, so you can have printed pieces that drive more profit per page and are still safe for our environment.
