Book binding cloth with a thermo effect

book binding cloth
Some of Sense colours become thermo book binding cloth on P100 (100gsm paper), i.e. they are thermo-reactive. Reaching this thermo effect is as simple as hot-stamping but without foil. It is also commonly called “heat-burnishing” or “heat-reactive”.

Machine settings :

Settings to take advantage of a thermo book binding cloth depend a lot on the kind of foiling machine being used. Usually, an ideal setting is : temperature of 130 to 160°C / medium to strong pressure (depending on your machine, whether or not it allows longer pressing time setting).
