Description
Compare a foil-stamping line gap with a caller-supplied minimum.
Print and screen geometry depends on coordinate scale, placed image size, bleed/inset definitions and pixel transparency. Placed pixels per inch differs from printer dots per inch, and a caller-chosen margin differs from a verified production tolerance. Empty-image conventions and threshold equality affect bounding results.
Compare a foil-stamping line gap with a caller-supplied minimum.
When to use this tool
Use Foil Stamp Line Gap Reference Check when checking the stated artwork geometry, placement, screen angle or alpha-bound convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter measuredGap, suppliedMinimumGap. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read gapMargin, meetsSuppliedMinimum. Inspect meetsSuppliedMinimum before interpreting the associated values.
Require measured and supplied minimum gaps nonnegative. Return measured-minimum and meetsSuppliedMinimum when measured>=minimum.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| measuredGap | Measured Gap | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| suppliedMinimumGap | Supplied Minimum Gap | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| gapMargin | Gap Margin | Required. Finite number. |
| meetsSuppliedMinimum | Inclusive comparison with the caller’s gap criterion; not a printer approval. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Equality passes a caller-supplied criterion; no foil-stamping process capability, printer requirement or actual production suitability is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect rendered artwork and verified production/device specifications for actual print quality, cropping, fit and manufacturing requirements.
