Question
What ink colors can be printed on navy envelopes?
Answer
On dark envelopes such as navy, white ink is the standard choice because standard CMYK inks are translucent and would disappear against the dark paper. White ink is opaque, so text, logos, and return addresses stay crisp and readable.
Quick guide to picking ink for the envelope color:
- Navy or other dark stock: white ink for maximum legibility
- Need a specific color other than white: switch to a white or light-colored envelope so the ink reads true
To confirm the exact ink options for the envelope you have in mind, ask your printer with the envelope color and what you want printed.
