: On average, what kind of precision should I expect when debossing over an existing print in a small run? This question most definitely deserves to be asked directly to my printer but since
This question most definitely deserves to be asked directly to my printer but since they're currently on leave for the week, figured I'd give it a shot here to get a general idea on how I should approach my design.
I'm getting a text printed and want to add a debossed detail in the existing printed word spaces. It's a small run of 500 cards at the most. Quick and dirty example:
Let's/say/all/the/slashes/here/are/debossed/but/the/text/is/printed.
So it's a limited space and could easily look off center. On average, what kind of precision range should I expect? 0.5 point? 2 points? 1/16 inch? More?

There's not a standard as such Emilie, it is entirely dependant on your printer due to the equipment at use and the hand using it.
Here is a general guide:
Note: All measurements are in inches.
Tolerances to Remember
Minimum embossing width – .040 through .010 substrates. Thicker substrates may require adjusting.
Maximum height of emboss – 2.5 times the material thickness.
Height tolerance – plus/minus .005
Registration – plus/minus .015 (registration to graphic image.)
Minimum distance between embossed areas – .050
