High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Foil imaging is a revolutionary printmaking technique developed at the University of Iowa by Professor Virginia A. Myers, with student research teams, in the late twentieth century. Enabled by the invention of the hand-held Iowa Foil Printer (IFP), it is a new art form derived from the commercial practices of foil stamping. Artists who work in this medium are able to utilize the same foil products as the foil stamping industry, whose output can be seen adorning wine bottles, mass market paperback books, wedding invitations, school supplies, and all manner of clothing (such as in MMA and hip hop fashions; witty t-shirts). Foil imaging can be used to create editioned prints or monos, and can stand alone, or in conjunction with traditional printmaking techniques, including intaglio, relief, serigraphy, and lithography; additionally, it can be used with many non-printmaking fine arts, including painting, sculpture, calligraphy, photography, and metalsmithing.
