Built for the work, not the brochure
Three quarters of a ton of even platen pressure means the KSF 3 foils, embosses and debosses large dies in a single pull. It is the machine featured in Sal Studios’ “Foil, Pressure, Dwell, Heat” course, and the one we recommend when invitations, packaging and short-run print are the daily bread.
Perfect for
- Wedding stationery
- Foil + emboss work
- Short-run print
- Studio production
