ABSTRACT:
A method to impart physical enhancements to a sheet material having a printed image such that the physical enhancements are in alignment with the graphical features of the printed image as would be complimentary to the physical enhancements and thereby forming an enhanced image. One embodiment has a computer based design environment allowing a user to develop a scaled virtual representation of an enhanced image through a graphical user interface by assembling a plurality of virtual objects representing forms and dimensions of preexisting or preconceived enhancement components, forms and dimensions of preexisting or preconceived assembly components, forms and dimensions of physical enhancements imparted to sheet material by preexisting or preconceived enhancement components, forms and dimensions of graphical enhancements as would be printed to sheet material and complimentary to physical enhancements and forms of images. Images and graphical enhancements are printed to sheet material to create a printed image and assembly and enhancement components assembled in accordance with assembly template derived from virtual design such that a custom die is formed specific to the printed image. Custom die is applied to printed image under a predetermined force such as to apply physical enhancements to printed image in accordance with virtual design.
