- [Narrator] Embossing is the process of molding paper
using two dyes, a positive convex dye
to push the paper out,
and a concave counter dye,
which serves as the mold the paper is pressed into.
Embossing adds depth and texture to a printed piece,
as you can see here.
But because creating embossing dyes
is a precise and time-consuming process,
be aware that you should supply
the artwork to the dyemaker well in advance
of the print job to allow the craftsman time
to create the working dyes
that will add elegance to the piece.
