Unlock Creative Possibilities with White Ink Printing for Cards
Creative possibilities on dark, vibrant, and textured boards.
White ink printing is a game-changer for greeting card design. It allows you to break away from standard white cardstock and print directly onto the most vibrant, richly coloured boards, like G.F Smith Colorplan or deep kraft stocks, giving your range a distinct, premium look.
Why Choose White Ink?
Standard CMYK inks are translucent, meaning they “disappear” when printed on dark paper. White ink is opaque, allowing for:
- Crisp Typography: Bold white text that “pops” against deep reds, forest greens, or navy blues.
- Vibrant Undercoats: We can print a white layer first, acting as a “primer.” This allows us to print full-colour images on top of dark boards without the board colour tinting the artwork.
- Modern Minimalism: Perfect for contemporary, clean designs on rustic or high-end coloured boards.
Specialist Advice for Your Project
White ink works differently depending on the board’s texture and weight. We recommend discussing your ideas with Rachel McMillan before finalising your files. We can offer expert advice on file preparation and help you select the perfect board to ensure your design achieves maximum impact.
