WHITE INK PRINTING | NYC
White Ink Printing is trickier than it sounds. Against the norm of dark ink on white paper, the reversed appearance of white ink on dark paper stock offers a memorable visual contrast. Much of what you see printed in white ink isn’t white ink at all, but a foil or acrylic stamp. This is especially true with dark or brightly-colored paper. White ink is transparent when printed over black paper, dark paper or brightly-colored paper. In order to get white ink to be visible on black paper, dark paper or bright-colored paper, the white ink must be applied multiple times, which typically results in an unsightly white ink mess. A white foil stamp is the solution – it mimics the look of white ink printing: without the ink mess, and with excellent white opacity. Light ink printing & Foil Stamping looks best on dark and bright-colored papers – black or dark blue paper backgrounds. The look of white ink printing makes a logo pop, & gives a sense of visual depth to printed business cards, invitations and anywhere one might want to invert an assumed printing standard. This being New York City, black paper continues to be a staple in-demand choice for business and personal stationery. We offer the look of white ink right here in the ever-fashionable Garment District in Midtown Manhattan. White ink isn’t ink at all. It’s the look!
