It would be interesting to try to have actual registration so that the embossed design can interact with the printed copy rather that just being an arbitrary background decoration.
The way I understand your comment is you could have a scene or objects printed on a card, then line up an embossed design over the print to create depth or imprint specific areas of the print creating various effects. That would be interesting
I like how they kept it simple and minimal. If you look into embossers, their form factor is quite different (more akin to a construction stapler).
I've been tinkering with a variation on the theme -- something that can emboss paper / cardboard / thin sheet metal. 3D printed dies work great, but it's some rabbit hole! Lots and lots to learn.

You could have a detent on the edge of the platen for a consistent starting position.

also a tool that generates the emboss pattern based on the design of the card. so that for example a logo on the card gets embossed.
or the text in 3d, like credit cards used to be
I think that was not done by embossing but by "3d printing" on the business card directly.

I wish it was easy for a CAD n00b to create templates for this. Like I want my business card to be the emboss
Or you could just print the business cards themselves with your 3D-printer.
That would be really slow and not as versatile as an embosser.
Eventually, I’ll have a fancy business card like Paul Allen’s!

For some inexplicable reason, this site does not load properly for me. It also has apparently eaten all my memory.

Same issue for me on Android + Firefox. It times out connections in other apps too and brings my phone to a halt.

Same. But disable JavaScript and you can see it.
JS code like that should be made illegal lol
But can it do watermarks?
cool
