What actually is White Ink?
White Ink is the extra exceptional fifth colour in our printing process which will take your designs to a whole new level of creativity. Get to know White Ink and how you can get the most out of it, right here…
How is White Ink different to normal print processes?
The entire spectrum of printed colours is made up of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK), but not white. This elusive beast used to be rarer than a genuine yeti sighting until now.
The kind of White Ink printing we offer is ‘Spot White’. This means that the ink appears as a colour in a design, like printing a white flower onto a coloured paper stock, for example. Because white is a light coloured ink, we need to layer the ink up and get a stronger colour.
By adding white as the fifth colour in the CMYK printing process, you can use vibrant, brightly coloured paper stocks and still get white colour in your artwork. Without White Ink, the elements you colour white in your design will simply show as the colour of the paper underneath.
