Hidden Edges
Hidden Edges are a variation of our signature embedded edge designs.
They can be combined with digitally sprayed edges, traditional stenciled edges, and even gilded edges!
Painted Wings Publishing will embed a custom design directly into your PDF file, which, after you or your printer of choice apply digitally sprayed, traditionally sprayed/painted, or gilded edges, will become a hidden edge only revealed when the pages are bent or splayed open for reading.
​
This is highly customizable, in some circumstances able to be combined with our alternative inking technique and/or dual edges.
Each project will be unique depending on the designs you want to use and the medium used for the outer edges.
Under Digitally Sprayed Edges (CMYK Ink)
As this is a new technique, we can't guarantee accurate results with every company offering digitally sprayed edges, though we assume most results will be similar when the outer edge is applied with CMYK ink.
This is an example we printed in collaboration with 48HourBooks!
