Hardness of Copper
With almost the same Rockwell hardness as that of engravers brass, it is less susceptible to damage than magnesium. Press runs of one million foil stamping impressions or more can be achieved with photo etched copper dies.
Density of Copper
The superior heat retention of copper allows consistent foil transfer on heavy coverage and increased press speeds.
Stability of Copper
With an expansion rate only about 25% that of magnesium, copper holds its size much better for register work. Heat compensation is always available for your most critical jobs.
Level Surface
All copper plates are diamond ground, sanded and measured to exacting specifications, assuring you of a flat and level stamping face for faster and easier make-ready.
Corrosion Resistance
Engraving copper is a stable alloy meaning better long-term storage. Dies do not need to be coated before filing away.
