| ♥ 0 | So, I need to recover a copy of R.U.R. from the 1920s printed by Doubleday. I will need to replicate the art on the cloth. I am going to see how screen printing looks on the cloth; however, the original binding has a very slight depression giving me the impression that it was stamped with black ink. I have not been able to find any references to how these bindings used to be stamped. How do I get the indentation? Do I need to have a die made? Attachments: Marked as spam |
Posted by | Private answer The stamping is indeed done with a metal die. It isn't so hard to get a die made, but then you need a Kwik print stamping machine to hot stamp it and some black foil. To get a die made the die maker just needs a clean black and white image of the original. I have used Bauer Engraving in San Francisco. Here is a link to the kind of stamping machine I am referring to. https://www.talasonline.com/tools-and-equipment/bookbinding/kwikprint-stamping-machines
I am not sure why you need a new cover? What is wrong with this one?
