    This document provides instructions for creating a book cover using both foil stamping and printing. It explains that two separate files need to be created - one with just the elements to be foil stamped in black, and one with the full color elements that will be printed but not foil stamped. The foil stamped file will include just the solid shapes and lines like the title, hearts and subtitle, while the printed file will exclude these elements and include gradients that cannot be made with foil. Both files must line up perfectly for the final cover.

    Original Description:

    Learn how to properly set up files for foil stamping in the professional printing process.
