Special - Black Matte
Black is back. A black card stock that can be printed on in either black or white ink. Black ink gives a subtle but classy "black-on-black" look, while white ink really pops off the page. Note that the white ink will not be fluorescent bright white. It is a very very light shade of grey because of the way the black stock can show through from underneath, but this won't be noticeable to most. You will need to set your artwork up in a special way if you want white ink - see our artwork set-up page for more info.
- Stock: Popset Digital 320gsm Black. Black Ink (K) OR White Ink Print.
Special - Kraft Matte
Natural earthy goodness. A recycled card stock that resembles brown kraft paper. White or black ink goes really well here, but you can choose to print in full CMYK colour instead. Keep in mind that colours will not be as vibrant as they are when on white paper because the brown kraft colour is going to show through slightly. You will need to set your artwork up in a special way if you want white ink - see our artwork set-up page for more info.
- Stock: Neenah Grocer 350gsm Kraft. CMYK OR White Ink Print.
