Question

What paper stocks work best for dark Halloween designs?

Answer

Dark artwork needs a stock heavy enough to carry dense ink without warping, plus a finish that either controls glare or boosts saturation depending on the look you want.

Stock or finishResult
16pt cardstockholds heavy dark ink without show-through or curl
Matte finishreduces glare on dark backgrounds, sleek look
Uncoatedsoft, textured feel, easy to write on
Gloss finishdeepens and saturates dark colors

Choose matte or uncoated for a subtle, moody feel, or gloss when you want blacks and jewel tones to pop.
