Is it possible to print on dark paper?

This is a very common question and there can be a lot of confusion over it.

Yes, it can be done! Our favorite method for printing light ink on dark papers is to use foil lettering. Foil gives the lettering a crisp, distinct look and is easily readable.



We have 25 different colors of foil and provide options with both the traditional metallic finish, or a matte finish. Here we have a few examples of invitations we have printed on dark papers. These first two are examples of a matte foil in white and fuchsia.



The next question is can you print on a dark shimmer paper?

Yes! It turns out beautiful too! This is an example of a few we printed recently.



The first is a black shimmer paper printed with a white matte finish.

The second is a brown shimmer paper with a gold metallic finish.


Printing on dark papers doesn't stop at the invitations and announcements we also print a lot of dark colored envelopes. Pictured is a dark shimmer envelope with a white matte foil finish.
