Question
Will white ink look opaque on dark stock?
Answer
Yes. White ink lays down a solid, opaque white on dark surfaces, though coverage depends on how many passes are printed.
| Coverage | Result |
|---|---|
| Single pass | Clean white, slightly translucent |
| Double hit | Two passes, boldest and most opaque |
- A single pass reads clearly on most dark materials.
- A double hit delivers maximum opacity and punch.
- Choose the double hit when you need bright, solid white against very dark stock.
