IMPORTANT!
Please visit our new website at
www.fastfoil.co.uk
This new website now replaces the one
which you are currently on.
Any prices or information shown on this old website
is now obsolete and will no longer apply.
Type, Slip
Cases,
Quads & Spacers, Type Trays etc.
Generally,
we tend to use metal or polymer plates when using the hot foil printing
process. This means that you can incorporate any typestyle, in any
language as well as any logos, symbols etc, when creating your artwork on
your computer. Plates give you greater flexibility and can save you time
too.
However, there may be instances when you will need to print basic text in
a hurry and thus require an alternative method. Well help is at hand with
the introduction of our individual metal letters (also know as 'Type').
Type is basically individual metal letters which are quickly assembled in
a 'Slip Case' (to hold letters securely in a straight line) and then
inserted into your optional Type Chase, ready for printing.
Type is supplied as a set consisting of Capital Letters, Lowercase
Letters, Numbers and Punctuations. There are usually several letters
for each letter of the alphabet contained within a font (set) with more
emphasis on more frequently used letters in the English Language (e.g.
Vowels such as a, e, i, o, u). Therefore, you are likely to get more of
these vowels then you are of least used letters such as x, y and z's.
Please click here to see Type
Synopsis and here to see Type
Sizes.
Once you have purchased your initial set, you can buy extra caps only,
lowercase only or figures only - but only as a complete pack and not as
individual letters.
We can also supply '@' symbols as used in e-mail addresses at extra cost.
These are not supplied as standard in any font.
Type is sold in various heights with the most popular sizes being 10pt,
12pt and 18pt. We plan to supply 'off the shelf' typefaces in
these sizes and in five different typestyles - eg:-
10pt Universe Medium (5A/13a)
12pt Plantin Italic (5A/13a)
18pt. Ashley Script (3A/6a)
18pt. Times New Roman (3A/6a)
18pt. Times Italic (3A/6a)
Other sizes and typestyles can be cast for special orders with a lead time
of about 2 weeks. Full payment will be required before we can process
special orders. As these will be special orders, no refunds can be made
for 'change of mind' etc. To
see complete list of Type Styles, please click here.
If you require a typeface is another font size (other than 10pt, 12pt,
18pt as above), you will also require Slipcases and Quads & Spacers
for use with that particular size. Please ask for prices.
As mentioned above, Type is often used to print basic and simple
text in straight horizontal lines. If you require fancy typestyles or
logos, then you would be best advised to get a plate made either by using
our plate making service or by making your own polymer hot foil plates
using our plate making system.
Type is mainly used to print onto paper, card, leather and pvc, pencils.
However, it is not designed to be used onto pens or hard materials as the
type would wear out very quickly.
Tidy-Rack £64.99+VAT
Tidy-Rack is a product which we had developed for our ribbon
printer customers who required a compact storage system for holding
their foils for ribbon printing. The Tidy-Rack equally lends itself to
holding foils etc and we feel that it could be useful accessory for the
hot foil trade too. It is particularly suitable to holding the Craft
Dragon range of foils due to the size of the foil being smaller than our
own conventional 400 feet of foil. Having said that, it does hold larger
foils too by missing every other hook.
Slip Cases £19.99+VAT each
Our Slip Cases are made from Stainless Steel with clamp screws at
both ends with usable internal length as 100mm (4").
We
will hold 10pt, 12pt and 18pt Slip Cases as standard stock items. Other
sizes to order subject to minimum quantities.
Some used Slip Cases also available in brass (various sizes), please
enquire. price: £14.00+VAT each.
Quads
& Spacers £22.50+VAT each
Quads & Spacers are metal blocks which are used to fill in the excess
space in a slipcase (Quads) and also to leave gaps between words (Spacers
- these are much thinner than the Quads). There are usually plenty quads
and spacers in a pack to be used in several lines of Type.
We
will hold 10pt, 12pt and 18pt Quads & Spacers as standard stock items.
Other sizes to order subject to minimum quantities.
Type
(Metal Letters for printing basic text in horizontal lines)
(Sold as a complete set consisting of Capital Letters, Lowercase Letters,
Punctuations and Figures). Please refer to the 'Type Synopsis' to see how
many letters you will receive in a pack. Please note that this should be
seen as a guide only as some variances can occur from
time to time, over which we do not take any responsibility. Our type is
