Question

What substrates work best for white ink printing?

Answer

White ink shines on anything that is not already white. It is designed to stand out on dark or transparent surfaces where standard CMYK would disappear.

  • Dark-colored cardstock
  • Clear vinyl and clear plastic
  • Kraft and other natural brown stocks
  • Colored paper stocks

The darker or more transparent the base, the more dramatic the white reads. On plain white paper it has little effect.
