What it's like to run
- At accent coverage on paper, nobody can tell this from Kurz in the hand. That is the whole argument for it.
- It wants a little more dwell and a little more pressure, so on thin or damp stock we watch for curl.
- Batch variation is real — we buy the whole run's foil at once rather than topping up mid-job.

Pairs beautifully with
Three combinations that hold up on press. Open one and the Studio starts with the stock, the foil and the ink already locked in.
Colorplan Ebony + bright gold foil
The most-run combination we have. Ebony's tooth kills any reflection around the stamp, so the gold is the only thing in the piece that moves under light. Keep the mark generous — hairlines below about 0.5pt fill in on a textured sheet this dark.

Gmund Colors Matt 40 · Crimson + bright gold foil
Saturated dyed-through red under a metallic. The felt-matte surface kills every reflection around the stamp, so the gold is the only thing in the piece that moves under light. Pigment and metallic foils are the honest route on this range — anything lighter than the sheet has to sit on top of it, not soak into it.

Gmund Bier Bock + bright gold foil
The sheet is milled with brewer's spent grain — the husk is still visible in the surface, and on a coffee-brown stock that grain reads as texture rather than noise. Foil is the honest route: the inclusions make the surface uneven enough that fine litho detail breaks up, while a stamp lands flat and bright on top. Keep strokes at 0.5pt or heavier and skip four-colour work entirely.
