When a document is on the shelf, its spine becomes its most important asset. The PowisPrinter® lets you add dazzling foil titles to the spines of your tape-bound books and documents so they can be easily identified when shelved.

Simply design your cover or spine and print it out. Unlike traditional foil stamping, you don't need to make a die or wait for days— you go from concept to finished cover or spine in less than two minutes.

PowisPrinter^® prints with seven colors of foil. To ensure design consistency, its vibrant colors match those available with our Foilfast printer.

Use the 11 built-in fonts via the printer's keyboard (included, except in Japan) or connect the printer to a computer to use your own fonts and logos. You can design titles with three orientations (horizontal, vertical, and stacked), and type sizes from 8 points to 84 points.

Spines are divided into three zones (top, middle, and bottom), and you can use different type styles, sizes, and orientations in each zone on the same strip.
