Can I use full-color designs on reflective materials?

Yes, you can print full-color CMYK artwork on reflective materials. The one thing to plan for is that the reflective base layer sits behind your ink and changes how colors read, especially lighter, more delicate tones that can look washed out against the bright substrate.

• Color mode: build artwork in CMYK so what you see is close to what prints.
• Contrast wins: bold, saturated colors and dark text stand out far more than pastels or thin light type.
• Light tones: pale colors can appear semi-transparent because the reflective layer shows through.
• Proof it: review a proof first if your design leans on subtle gradients or light shades.
