Muchas gracias a los dos.

Un par de nuevos lanzamientos, como aún no tienen nombre los pongo en este hilo.

Yo creo que es como dice Max, el Die Cut son las "ventanas", como las que traen la Legends o las típicas barajas de casino.

Efectivamente, cuando entregas un arte final para cualquier pieza, marcas en linea un Die Cut, que es un troquel. Puede ser la forma exterior (como una estrella) o "huecos" iteriores, desde un cuadrado a una forma compleja.
Los "embossing" son grabados. Se marcan con tinta plana y se pueden hacer tanto hacia afuera como hacia adentro. (Segun al lado que le pegues el golpetazo)
El foil suele ser un efecto metálico y/o brillante.
Todos estos extras encarecen mucho las impresiones...
Solo queria exar un pelin de luz al asunto

El otro día me acordé de este hilo. Una pena que por falta de tiempo quedara desactualizado. A ver si al menos arreglo la tabla del segundo post, que al cambiar el sistema de foros se perdió el formato.

Pongo en este hilo una información importante sobre EPCC que me parece interesante, os pongo enlace directo a la fuente:

Conjuring Arts owns Expert PCC. They got into the playing card business themselves.

The trigger for this move was the Skull and Bones design. Bill discovered the deck back from a deck that was over a hundred years old, created by USPC in their early days. It was so old, no one at USPC remembered it was one of their designs, but that's unfortunately all too common over there - the company's changed hands too many times and its owners were always more focused on its profits than its history. He tweaked and cleaned the design for his Bicycle Professional Skull and Bones deck release - and some months later, USPC simply took his cleaned-up design and repeated it in their more-cheaply made Bicycle Skull deck, doing so presumably on the assumption that it was a USPC design in the first place so they "owned" it, even though it was way past the expiration of its copyright date and Kalush had the design reworked and cleaned up at his expense, not theirs.

There'd been a few small disagreements that he'd had with USPC in the past which I won't discuss, but this was for him enough reason to decide to stop working with USPC and go into the card business for himself. I can't imagine that USPC was thrilled - I've heard rumors that there's a whiteboard in someone's office over there that's covered with the names of all the decks that Expert "stole" from USPC over the years that it's been in operation - but if that's how they treat a loyal customer, can you blame him? He did some research, discovered a printer in Taipei that did high-quality work, sourced high-grade black-core pasteboard from a European company and the rest is history.

He "works" with Legends in that they share the same printing plant in Taipei. Legends also prints some decks from a plant they discovered on the Chinese mainland, but Expert doesn't use it. Legends also sources paper for that plant from places Kalush doesn't order from. CARC sells some Legends decks as well as Expert's own releases and the odd release from other companies now and then, but they no longer do any business with USPC and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Para los perezosos en el inglés os hago un resumen rápido: CARC dejó de trabajar con USPC debido a que USPC dispuso libremente del diseño "Skull and Bones" que CARC había rehecho, basándose en que el diseño original era de USPC.

A tenor de lo que se comenta, y hablando con Mike Ratledge el otro día, le pregunté la razón de pagar derechos por la Dondorf si ya había, en teoría, expirado los derechos...

No conseguí ninguna respuesta concluyente....

Esto me abre más dudas.

Eso sí, todo lo que tiene que ver con USPCC y las patentes/licencias/derechos me lo creo, por muy leonino que sea.

[rave]

Sí, parece que el tema de patentes lo tienen bien atado.
