Print can be a statement and is a great way to make your mark from handing out a business card to having very unique pieces at your wedding. White ink on black or other dark paper and card stocks is not something that everyone can produce and it is suited to people who wish to go that extra step in creating artistic pieces that grab people, have impact, and make sure that guests and customers remember you. Black board with white ink pieces are often cherished and held on to. People are likely to show your work to others simply due to the look and feel.

When your wedding invites are white on black, or your business cards just state style, you'll be the one getting the compliments and the callbacks.

Do you have designs in mind for greetings cards? Bar or Bat Mitzvah, invites, unique cards for your loved ones or great ideas you wish to do a run of and sell on Etsy or Ebay? They will truly be unique and stand out from the rest when printed with white ink on black.


Tips for printing White on Black 


You can design Black on White or in any 2 colours - just let us know which colour on your design is to print as white.

Avoid designing borders close to the edge of the print. The edge of a trimmed black board is already statement enough and printed borders often do not work well. Be creative though, often swirly borders are what you want and they can work wonderfully - send in your design ideas and we'll let you know what's going to work.

Do avoid very thin lines or very small fonts.

Feel free to design minimal or with large white areas.

What works best is to have the black paper do the work, make the statement and keep your print crisp and to the point.

You should avoid images. Many graphics and logos do work very well though. If choosing clip art of flowers etc, remember that details may be lost. It can be surprising just what detail does work in this format and we'll attempt to tell you upfront what in your design will work well.
