Magnesium Elektron exhibited at the 2010 Ipex show in Birmingham UK from May 18 to May 25.  Thank you to the attendees from 40 different countries who visited our booth.  Magnesium Elektron also hosted a dinner on Thursday May 20 which was well-attended.

Pira International, Surrey, UK, a third party research firm, was commissioned by the Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) to conduct the study and produce the findings, which have been compiled in a 11-page study.  Along with the findings, the study describes the pulping and screening methods used in the research, and provides a complete analysis of the reporting results from the testing methods.

The FSEA offers this reference guide as an informative sample-oriented book for designers and printers into a world of color, texture, and dimension.  The 2nd Edition includes updated information and a new section on preparing artwork and provides a unique marketing tool for foil stampers and embossers.  To obtain a copy, go to: "A Different Breed: The Designer's Guide to Foil Stamping and Embossing", or contact David Juillerat at Magnesium Elektron ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
