Step 1: CMYK Files

Step 2: Define Separation

For this step, we will create a colour base file for the separation . This can be done in many ways in your design program – by setting up new layers, defining a new layer or creating a separate file.

The areas for treatment (spot white backing) Anything that appear on Liquid Foil card will become shiny if you do not do spot white backing for your graphic. The graphic need to be defined in black ink, and areas for no treatment will be transparent. The black colour used must be CMYK Black only – with no grey colours, or other inks.

For the best outcome, and easiest process, we recommend creating the design in vector-format - such as in Adobe Illustrator (AI files). Best preferred to be Export as .PNG file. 

K100 Black

CMYK: 0, 0, 0, 100

Step 3: Export Separation

We suggest double-checking the alignment of the separation to the original CMYK artwork (created in the previous step) before proceeding. Export each separation as a press-ready PDF/PNG/JPG file. Use the following naming conventions for your files.

Type	File Name	Example (Front)
Liquid Foil (single side)	Foil_1	Set1_Foil1.pdf
Liquid Foil (double side)	Foil_2	Set1_Foil2.pdf

Each different treatment will need to be defined in a different separation file. For example, if you are setting up one order for Liquid Foil, you will need Liquid Foil files. For multiple sets, use the same naming convention but change the set number as appropriate (ie. “Set2_Front.pdf”, "Set2_Back.pdf" etc.).

Step 4: Display Liquid Foil Colour

Each different Liquid foil colour will need to be defined in a different CYMK colour. For example, if you are setting up the colour for the Namecard below:

It is CMYK: 100, 100, 75, 0.
