White Ink printed on Metallic Stock (eg Silver Laminate) appears opaque, and blocks out any metallic qualities.   CMYK printed on White Ink will appear non-metallic, like printing on white stock.

  • “White” – Swatch name for White Ink.  Create a spot colour swatch, using a colour other than white, to identify it on screen against the white background.

  • White Ink should be placed on it’s own artwork layer, typically at the bottom.

  • CMYK objects should be set to “Overprint”, when printed on top of White Ink.
