Will the wood grain affect my design's colors?

Yes. Wood is a natural, semi-translucent surface, so the grain and tone show through any area where the ink is not fully opaque. This is part of the charm, but it changes how colors reproduce.

• Dark, bold colors like black, navy, and deep red print rich and saturated on wood
• Light colors and pastels can look washed out because the wood tone bleeds through
• Photographs and gradients need a white ink base layer for accurate reproduction
• Leaving areas unprinted lets the natural grain become part of your design

If color accuracy matters, request white ink as an underprint so it acts as an opaque background. If you want the organic, earthy look, design with the grain in mind and lean on dark tones and clean typography.
