In PaperSpecs’ upcoming free webinar sponsored by Neenah, discover embossing techniques that will add breathtaking depth and detail to your designs.

Palo Alto, California – November 2, 2016 – Few things signify class and allure like an expertly crafted print design that’s been artfully embossed.

But all embossing projects are not the same. From single-level embossing, in which an image is raised to one flat level, to sculptured embossing, in which several levels produce a multi-dimensional effect, the approach a designer takes can make all the difference in a project’s ultimate appeal.

“Not only does embossing convey high-quality, but it creates a tactile experience that leaves a lasting impression,” says Sabine Lenz, founder of PaperSpecs.com. “By experimenting with different types of embossing, designers can add intricate and transformative details to their work.”

If you’re ready to explore the many dimensions of design, this webinar will leave you with an understanding of how different embossing techniques can breathe new life into your projects.

About Sheila Donnelly
In June 1996 Sheila scheduled a two-week visit to her father’s company, Precise Continental, to explore career options in the graphics industry. On the 2^nd day the prepress department manager quit. Flash forward 20 years. Today Sheila oversees operations at Precise.

Sheila learned the ins and outs of the printing industry the old fashioned way – diving in head-on. Even while jumping in, Sheila maintains an ability to step back. Her focus on the big picture has helped to streamline operations and assists her in working with clients to integrate specialty processes into their projects.

Precise Continental is an award winning specialty printer located just outside NYC in Harrison, NJ. Precise Continental has always taken a visionary approach. The team at Precise keeps an eye trained on client needs and the direction of their businesses, while maintaining a keen focus on the industry’s evolution. Precise steps up to challenges – and where they collectively — and creatively — lead.
