Hello guys!
I am aware that a part of Modern Idols limited editions have those issues on foil - those are not really errors/misprintings, but are due to the properties of the paper and the holographic foil I've used.
The paperhave a really strong "fiber" texture, similar to fabric, and that texture have some problems with foil, especially the holographic one.
Also Order Electus, one of my favourite boxes I've made, have a similar issue due to the strong texture of the paper, and I had the same issue with Lunatica Chimera/Phoenix holofoil printed by Clover St Press.
The only way to prevent these issues would be pick "safe" paper, usually smooth over textured, and/or avoid holographic foil.
Also, avoiding large foil areas and thicker lines would help - this is the only thing I can do as designer to kinda prevent these issues.
However, despite these flaws, I think the Modern Idols limited editions are really nice. The paper is spectacular ( it's the same kind of paper on Eva Paradis and Apocalisse Wrath of God).
I suggest to see those boxes at direct sunlight, outdoor, maybe whithout cellowrap - the result is really cool because the metallic particles in the paper.
Anyways, I am sorry for the disappointment, I hope that future boxes will have less issues
Thank you for the feedback!
Gio
