White Ink can be printed on coloured stock, such as Kraft Brown board.  The White Ink is typically printed first, before CMYK is over-printed on top.   Coloured stocks will tint CMYK colours, unless a base layer of White Ink is printed first.

  • “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.
