Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a photo-imaging cylinder; a latent image forming unit to form a static charge on the photo-imaging cylinder; a plurality of binary ink developer (BID) units to transfer ink onto the photo-imaging cylinder; an intermediate transfer member (ITM) to receive ink from the photo-imaging cylinder; an impression cylinder to cause a print medium to contact the ITM; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed, cause a processor to: calculate an average ink layer thickness of an ink layer accumulated on the impression cylinder from the ITM, and calibrate a calculation of a target die thickness as a function of the calculated average ink layer thickness so that the photo-imaging cylinder, the latent image forming unit, the plurality of BID units, the ITM, and the impression cylinder are calibrated for forming an embossing die with the target die thickness.
