Der Reliefdruck ist eine Erhöhung des Druckbildes mit einem optischen Lackeffekt. Dieses Druckverfahren ist vergleichbar mit dem Stahlstich. Der Reliefpuder wird direkt auf den ***frischen Druck*** aufgebracht und dann durch Hitzeeinwirkung geschmolzen.

freshly printed image
Explanation:
THERMOGRAPHY
The term to describe a synthetic version of embossed images created via die stamping. Thermography involves coating a nylon powder onto a wet freshly printed image and then passing the sheet under a powerful heating element which causes the nylon to ‘blister’ making the image rise and appear as though it were embossed.

It may indeed be wet ink, as stated above. But if the process is laser printing, then it will be unfused toner. Ink and toner are not interchangeable terms:

Definitions and differences - wet ink and other print enhancements


Explanation:
This is an idiomatic expression and means that the ink is still fresh on the sheet of paper and hasn't dried yet. One has to be careful with print enhancement terms, because of their different workings:
Relief Druck = in English, Embossing. This involves a Letterpress (Buch- oder Hochdruck) operation. There is a die that carries the line image as negative contoure. pressure applied makes the paper rise into the grooves of the die. So the image looks grown out of the paper. No ink is being used.
The opposite to emboss is deboss which in simple terms means a print as usual without ink. i.e. it digs into the paper.
Thermography is a cheap workaround usually inhouse by the printer. The Process uses Letterpress or Offset Litho. Thermography powder is put while the ink is still wet on the sheet and immediately fed through a machine resembling a continous toaster in a hotel, or exposed to the heat of a bar fire. The powder only adheres to the ink and swells when exposed to heat, making the line image rise.
Then you get hot foil stamping, a letterpress process. No ink is applied but instead the type prints onto a heated metallic foil. where the pressure e.g. of some type has been applied the foil adheres to the paper.
Another one is UV varnish. This is a silk screen process (a hole lets ink through to the paper below, which is then cured, This gives because of the localised varnish a raised image.
