Few printing techniques can match the high quality of an engraved wedding invitations. While engraving was historically used to print wedding invitations, baby announcements and business cards for your parent?s and grandparent?s generations, present day printing techniques are more efficient but lack the quality and beauty of engraving.
Lately, leading stationery retailers across the U. S. note that bridal couples are rediscovering the intrinsic beauty of engraving. Regardless of its higher cost,
embossed wedding invites speak to the conventions and elegance of times past.
As the industry has moved to cheaper and more efficient types of printing, many engraving firms have closed and the craft of engraving is perilously close to disappearing.
While the tough Heidelberg presses still exist in quantity, the creation of engraving dies by immersing photo-sensitive copper plates into a bath of acid is outside the budgetary capabilities and experience of many independent printers.
With its opaque colors and distinctive three dimensional print quality, engraved wedding invitations are facing a renaissance among bridal couples who treasure a well-crafted wedding invitation. Among the leading firms which offer a range of printing techniques, Crane & Co. and William Arthur offer the best printing and design options.
If an engraved wedding invitation is outside your allocated budget, select printing in thermograph inks. Using thermograph inks simulates engraving by imprinting a resin-based composite on the paper to supply the raised surface that you find in engraving. Thermograph inks tend to be shinier unless your printer offers a matte finish, but printing with this technique will produce great savings.
Like all fine stationery, engraved invitations are best seen in person to understand the print quality.
Colors are opaque and richer, especially when compared side by side with other kinds of printing. In all likelihood there are experienced stationers in areas across the U. S. who can provide assistance in helping craft beautiful wedding invites.
