Raised ink printing is the engraving-like effect that is achieved by raised ink printing, a printing process actually known as thermography.
Engraved printing is not as common now as it once was and is traditionally used for formal stationery, such as wedding invitations and business cards, because of its rich, elegant appearance.
In engraving, stationery is pressed onto an engraved copper plate, which causes the printed letters to rise slightly off the page. Hence, "raised ink."
In thermography, the design is printed onto the sheet and the sheet is then passed under a powder funnel that sprinkles a very fine powder-like substance onto the sheet. The sheet is then passed under a heated oven that fuses the powdered particles to the wet printing ink. A high-powered vacuum is then used to remove the excess powder from the paper. This fused mixture then creates the "raised" appearance you see when the mixture hardens.
Thermography produces the traditional effect of engraving without the expensive and time-consuming engraving process, making the traditional effect more affordable.
Raised ink printing requires the use of materials especially designed for the technique, otherwise problems can occur such as the curling of paper, caused by the high temperatures used in this process.
Your website is the hub of your online business; it is the virtual representation of your company whether your company exists physically or not. When you are doing business online, people cannot see you physically in the same way they could if they were dealing with an offline company with a physical presence. Consequently, people do judge appearances by the cover they see - your website presence. This is where a good website design comes in.

CMYKreative has worked with SCAD Bangkok to help us redesign and launch a revamped website which will enable us to have more control over the updating of the site ourselves. At all times they have been a pleasure to work with - nothing is too much trouble and, despite the pressure at times, CMYKreative work with good humour and patience.
Chris is able to explain things clearly to non-technical end-users and to find solutions to the issues raised in using the site. I would not hesitate in recommending Chris and CMYKreative for web design and related work.
