Using the Albion Press and the Rolling Press, embossing and debasing experiments were undertaken using a variety of applicable stocks. These stocks were normal white paper, end page paper and buckram. The wooden engravings from the laser cutter were used as templates for the embossing process. A variety of machines and stocks were used in order to get a vast range of different outcomes which could be assessed for the best result.
As can be seen on the buckram below, the embossing technique did not work due to the materials durability. This has ruled out this method of creating an embossed book cover. Future experimentation could include wrapping some greybeard in buckram and attempting to emboss with the two connected instead of the buckram by itself.
