Foil Printing On Black Paper

Hi bethany i apologize for the confusion.

Foil printing on black paper.

I have a small laser printe. Yes it is bit more of an investment than traditional letterpress printing on white paper but the finished product is oh so dreamy. It works great with thick papers and heavy textures and we love to give it a bump with an embossing plate too to create a raised printing effect. Hope this makes sense.

Printing isn t as easy when you print on black card stock. Make sure that nothing touches the printing on the paper as it comes out of the printer. As i m experimenting with different papers i m finding it isn t so much. I haven t yet had the opportunity to design white engraving or foil on black paper so i don t have any photos to share.

Printing black business cards takes special consideration as most pantone inks are transparent and disappear into the black paper surface. Keep in mind white foil printing uses a thick copper plate and presses into the paper so artwork will naturally have a debossed letterpress print effect. Digital printing can work on black paper as well if you re going for a super covert black on black look. Foil stamping gives anything a flash of light and with black paper the effect is multiplied even more.

Let the printing dry completely before stacking anything on top of the foil paper which may take up to 30 minutes. Meaning i want to print text onto black cardstock paper and have the gold foil laminated over it. Requested video i tried foiling on black card stock using my inexpensive laminating machine and i got some good result. Our premium black cards are a premium product due to the high quality and caliber of card that is used as well as the higher production costs from foiling embossing rather than printing.

The coated paper that comes with the minc kit works. Check the paper package directions for recommended drying times. Foil and engraving are wonderful options when trying to print white on black for invitations. White paper is a blank sheet that lets you print nearly any color of the rainbow on it.
