What Is Dufex?: Hand engraved designs or patterns are embossed on to foil sheets to create the distinctive Dufex quality of depth and movement through the diffraction of light on the image surface. To create the picture prints and stickers, images are first printed on to the metallic foil using transparent inks, which allow the reflective quality of the foil to be retained. Specialist engravers are then able to pick out the details of each image by hand to bring it to life on the finished print!
How To Care For Dufex : As you’ll want to get the best from these skilfully engraved products here are some simple guidelines recommended for the care and use of Dufex.
• Adhesive - For Dufex products, other than those which are self-adhesive, we suggest using water based PVA adhesive. Double-sided tape and adhesive pads can also be used. Hot or solvent based adhesives should not be used with Dufex.
• Storage - Dufex products should be stored in a cool dry place and kept away from hot surfaces and direct sunlight.
• Handling - Take care when working with Dufex products to avoid marking the finely engraved surface, as with many craft materials it can be accidentally torn or scraped.
