Controls

light
Where the light comes from. The only knob that truly changes the look: foil has no colour of its own, it reflects
relief
How sharply the reflection answers the slope of the embossing. Higher makes harder highlights, down to almost two colours
shadow
A colour, #3a2708 by default.
body
A colour, #c9962c by default.
shine
A colour, #fff4c8 by default.
coverage
Where the foil sticks. It goes only where the hot die pressed, and the die follows the dark places — lighter than this stays bare paper
paper
A colour, #efe9dd by default.
