Raising a design on the paper surface is referred to as which term?

• A. RIP
• B. Embossing
• C. Fuser
• D. Die Cutting

Answer: (B)

Raising a design on the paper surface is called embossing. It creates a raised relief by pressing a patterned die into the paper (often with a matching counter-die, and sometimes with heat), producing a tactile and visually noticeable effect. It can be done with or without ink, which is known as blind embossing when no ink is used. This is different from die cutting, which uses a sharp blade to cut or perforate the paper, cutting through rather than raising the surface. It’s also separate from RIP, the software/hardware step that prepares artwork for printing, and from a fuser, the part of a laser printer that fuses toner to the paper.
