Digital Specialty Inks
Transparent Ink
Transparent Ink allows us to create a spot-gloss effect on digital projects. Transparent ink adds a shiny, high-gloss finish to certain select parts of your design—like your logo or graphic—making them pop off the page and catch the light. The opportunities are limitless!
Metallic Inks
The ability to add silver ink - both on its own, and in addition to CMYK - allows us to give a metallic feel to any color. Your branding with a high impact.
White Ink
When needed we will add white ink behind the color to ensure your whites remain pure white. This is most often used on colored stock or foil board.
Raised ink
Raised ink gives a physical texture to any element. A glossy, transparent coating that adds dimension and texture to specific elements of your design—so you don’t just see it, you feel it. Great for logos, headlines, or any detail you want to stand out.

More on color calibration:
To avoid or decrease the chances of color discrepancies on your project, consider these design tips:
-
Design in a CMYK color space.
-
When choosing paper stocks, the whiter the better. Coated stocks will provide a higher range of color and contrast, while in comparison, uncoated stocks will mute colors and limit vibrancy.
-
Calibrate your computer monitor or digital screen as much as you can with monitor calibration tools.
-
For consistency over time, build your branding logos and corporate colors using Pantone colors:
-
Be sure to choose from the correct library and select coated or uncoated to match your paper choice.
-
If brand colors are derived from Pantone colors, keep them as spot colors with the standard Pantone nomenclature – do not edit their color values.
-
Remember, not all Pantone colors are achievable using CMYK.
-
Reference the Pantone Color Bridge book to choose a color that looks similar in both CMYK and spot colors. When they look alike, it means it’s achievable in CMYK printing.
-
If you'd like us to run swatch tests to fine tune your CMYK build on our press, please contact our sales team.
