HOW TO CREATE An AKUA FOIL FILE For an Akua Foil job, you must include a foil mask file along with your CMYK file. The mask file indicates where the foil will be placed. The file process is the same as spot UV..100% K where foil is placed, 0% where the foil is not placed.As shown below, the file on the left is the normal CMYK print file. If you want the logo to be foiled, then your Akua foil mask file should look like the file on the right. The White indicates no foil and 100% K indicates where the foil will be. xx If you would like only silver foil to print, make sure to have at least 15% K in that white area. A White Color in a CMYK file that is 100% K in your Akua foil mask will appear as plain silver foil. However, for a higher quality plain silver foil, we recommend to have at least 15% K in that white area. We print full color Akuafoil products on 16 Point card stock or 100 LB gloss book. Our foil products highlight a high/low contrast between foiled and un-foiled areas. Full color foil products are simple to create, affordable, and make your card or sheet stand out and get noticed.
