We are often asked why white ink clear stickers are so unique in digital printing. Well digital printing comes in CMYK so there is no white ink cartridge in all normal digital printers. So with our printer we have a unique setup allowing for this additional 5th colour.
White Ink Stickers
White ink has to be thicker than normal inks. Because of this more maintenance is required on this printer to run these inks. This is one of the additional works we need to carry out printing white ink digitally.
So when would you need white ink on your clear stickers? First of all for some uses such as product labels or car window stickers you would need white ink to stand out dark backgrounds. Also if you are doing a mural, white ink on clear provides a great effect to your display. Also without white ink backed behind where we print, the ink will appear translucent. On a dark background yellows and light colours will appear invisible. This can be avoided if there is a layer of white ink behind where it is printed.
We have found white ink stickers popular for these reasons. White ink printing is popular in digital as we can perform small to medium runs effectively. To find out more about this great product check out our white ink for clear page.
