Question
Will my design or background color have an impact on how the edge color turns out?
Answer
Yes, your design can slightly change the way the edge color reads. The effect is most noticeable when the card has a very dark or very light background, because the printed face sits right up against the painted edge.
- Dark backgrounds: can make a lighter edge color look a little different at the seam.
- Light backgrounds: can make a darker edge color stand out more sharply.
- Choosing an edge color that contrasts cleanly with your background usually gives the best result.
