Pro Tip: Ink & Paper Interaction Matters

The combination of ink and paper plays a key role in the final result:

• Kraft Paper absorbs ink, giving softer, muted colours. Best suited to Pantone inks for stronger colour accuracy.
• Bristol Paper has a smooth surface that enhances vibrancy and detail. Ideal for CMYK printing.
• Dark or Coloured Paper requires a white base layer. This ensures colours remain sharp and visible.
