White Ink Printing

AI concept: a dark charcoal carton and paper sample with a flat white geometric print.

Assess white coverage on the actual stock

White ink may be considered for dark or natural-coloured substrates where the artwork needs an opaque element. Define the areas, underprint and intended contrast separately from CMYK. Availability and the final result require process and stock confirmation.

Specification to review

Confirm the actual stock, white coverage, overprint artwork and production feasibility.

Limits of the selected white ink printing option

White ink is subject to a process and stock review. Do not assume that every printing line or paper supports it.

Can white ink be added without a separate artwork layer?

Identify the required white areas explicitly and have the production team review the file and intended print route.
