I'm assuming that the emboss makes it look like it's 'puffed out' like a credit card rather than idented? i know that if you use perlex on txp and laminate twice the part where the perlex is 'puffs out' perfectly.

here's a theory that should work.

if it's an 'indent', print out the shape of the indent you want onto a gloss laminate and cut it out. if it's detailed you would probably need to die cut or use an exacto knife. then when you laminate lay that over where u want the indent, in-between the outside of the TXP and the carrier and put it through the laminator. then peel off when it comes out, you'll have a perfect indent. you would HAVE to use gloss, with the glossy side facing the txp cause it won't stick to it.

for a 'puff out' look, do the same thing using anything clear and put it in-between the TXP and the artisyn/teslin.


This will only work with TXP, not gloss.
