Myers, Virginia A. — Foil Imaging: A New Art Form

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, WDG Publishing, 2001. Hardcover. Gold boards with gilt letters on spine & front cover, Navy blue & color illus. dust jacket, 206 pp. 233 color illus.; four pp. of foil samples. "The invention of the Iowa Foil Printer -- a safe, nonintimidating device that allows one artist, working alone, to execute the entire stamping process from beginning to end -- was essential to the development of foil imaging. Taking advantage of its utility and flexibility, students at the University of Iowa -- undergraduates, graduates, and postgraduates -- have successfully incorporated hot-stamped foil into a wide variety of other media. These include not only the other traditional print-making techniques such as lithographiy, relief, and serigraphy, but also painting, metalsmithing, fabric design, multimedia, photo-imaging, and three-dimensional conceptions."
