Our online printing services include white ink printing on a variety of substrates, including colored <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/stocks-substrates\/small-format-paper-stocks\">stock<\/a>, Kraft paper and <a href=\"\/\/smartpress.com\/offering\/decal-printing\">clear vinyl decals<\/a>. White ink can be printed as the solitary color in the design or in combination with <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/color-ink\/black-vs-full-color-printing\">full-color<\/a> printing, as a fifth color in the CMYK process. This article explains how white ink works, what it looks like on different materials, and how to set up your files in Adobe InDesign or Illustrator to ensure accurate printing results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smartpress Uses HP ElectroInk to Achieve White Ink Printing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you want white ink on black paper or a myriad of other design options, we use HP ElectroInk White with our HP Indigo press. HP ElectroInk is the first white ink developed specifically for digital printing presses, and the results are truly stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can make your <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/shop\/business-card-printing\">business cards<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/offering\/invitation-printing\">invitations<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/offering\/custom-die-cut-stickers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stickers<\/a> and more stand out in a couple different ways.

Traditional white inks require multiple passes and extended drying times to get the desired results. Smartpress&#8217; digital white ink is semi-opaque with a slight gray tint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, online printing results vary depending on the paper stock, so it may not always be completely opaque. It dries almost immediately, allowing for a quick turnaround time for printers that print white ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Smartpress Tip:<\/em><\/strong> Because of white ink\u2019s bright nature, it&#8217;s best to print on dark paper stocks, apparel, textiles and non-paper substrates, like wood and metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White Ink Printing File Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Set up white ink printing in your design file\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5iLi42gexQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the instructions below to set up your <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/file-preparation\/print-ready-files\">print-ready file<\/a> for white ink printing.
