金属母版加热到 150–200 ℃ 后压印,铜板局部软化使纹理深度比冷压提升 30–50%,边缘也更锐利。适用金属蕾丝、机刻钢辊等耐热母本(织物、树脂不可)。控制要点:母版与压头同温(避免坯料温降不均)、压前铜板 200 ℃ 预热、压下保压 3–5 s。热压后需再退火消除局部硬度差,方便后续成形。此法介于冷压印与热冲压之间,工作室用喷灯即可实现。

Heating metal masters to 150–200 °C before pressing softens the copper locally, deepening transfer 30–50% with crisper edges—suitable for metal lace or machined steel rollers (not fabric or resin). Keep master and platen at the same temperature, preheat the copper to 200 °C, and dwell 3–5 s. Re-anneal afterward to even out hardness for further forming. A torch is enough at studio scale—between cold imprinting and hot stamping. ---
