White Ink (Direct printing white ink)(Digital Printing White Ink)
A machine configured with white ink can print onto a range of substrates unacheivable with standard printing systems. If you have a coloured
paper or substrate and do not print a base layer of white, the colour of the substrate will show through. On a black surface the image would be near invisible. We eliminate these issues using white ink. Typical uses for white ink are:
Underlayer
White is set to print over the entire substrate before the image is printed. White space will appear white and not show the original substrate colour.
Overprint
White is set to print over the entire image after the image is printed in reverse. This is done on transparent substrates so the image can be viewed from the other side, through the substrate. White space will appear white.
Layer masks
White is set to print either under or over the image. The background areas can be masked out so the original substrate shows through. Images can also be left with no white on or under them.
Transparency effects
White is set to print at various densities. We can control exactly how the white is placed. It can be placed as a solid percentage like 20% transparent allowing the substrate to show. We can also print it as a gradient from one percentage to
another.
White only
White can be used on its own without the coloured inks at all. If you have a dark substrate we can print a greyscale image using white ink instead of black. Logos can be imaged onto dark or textured surfaces.
