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.

CoverageResult
Single passClean white, slightly translucent
Double hitTwo 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.
