Looking for thick and sturdy bookmarks that have great colour fidelity? This 18pt coated card stock is a solid choice for bookmark printing and, since the stock is coated on both sides, it will hold up over time and can be recycled when needed.
The Bookmarks are printed with pride in Canada!
Your bookmark project is printed fast with rush 2 and 4 business day printing times. Your art is printed in full colour on a Hewlett Packard Indigo press that combines offset and digital printing techniques allowing for fast production times and colour consistency.
Indigo printing is great for small to medium size orders, multiple bookmark projects, colour consistent re-orders and projects with solid areas of ink coverage.
The minimum recommended text size is 6pt. With any small text, if grey use a black ink only version; if black, use 100% K.
Anything thinner than a hairline stroke (0.25") - even at 100% K may look choppy when printed due to Indigo print resolution.
There is a screen to the Indigo print which customers should be aware of if they're comparing to traditional offset printing.
Don't use rich black on Indigo printing. 100% K will be just fine.
Heavy ink coverage can be problematic. When the cards rub together, the ink can rub off. This can be an issue for corner rounding so we generally advise clients with heavy coverage not to round corners.
Coated cards aren't ideal for writing on. If this is a big deal, check out our uncoated card stock options.
CMYK Process colours in the grey range and de-saturated images can shift in colour throughout the print run and may cause the greys to appear either cooler or warmer. For a neutral grey, we recommend converting all grey values and de-saturated images to true greyscale consisting of K (black) only values.
Depending on the colour value, you may experience colour variation in solid fills of blue. For great blue results, we recommend a 30% difference between your Cyan and Magenta levels to ensure a nice rich dark blue, rather than purple.
