Uncoated Bookmarks 22pt - Clubcard Printing Canada

Who wants a bookmark that feels thinner than the pages of the book they're reading? Give your bookmarks a boost and choose this 22pt thick uncoated cardstock to make sure nobody loses their place in that epic page turner. This super sturdy uncoated matte cardstock is known as a Cougar Brand 165lb DTC - double thick cover weight stock in the printing industry which measures out to a hefty 22pt thickness

Clubcard Vancouver has been printing bookmarks since we opened our doors in 1994 and we are here to ensure your bookmarks are printed with outstanding colour consistency and beautiful images every time you print with us.

We will print your uncoated bookmarks on this 22pt card stock on the most advanced Hewlett Packard Indigo printing press to provide outstanding quality, quick print times and fair pricing. The next time your customer snuggles up with a book, make sure you're right there with them.

Full Ink Coverage Not Recommended  Full coverage (aka floods of ink) on uncoated stocks are not recommended on this Indigo printed card stock.  We use a liquid suspended based toner on this print method and the overall result of covering uncoated stocks in this toner will produce a low sheen instead of a matte appearance.  Heavy coverage may also highlight the appearance of natural fibres on uncoated stocks.  If your art / design includes heavy ink coverage and you want cards with a matte appearance we recommend one of our laminated stocks. 

Heavy Coverage? Think Twice

Heavy ink coverage can be problematic. When the cards rub together, the ink can rub off. Heavy coverage makes this more apparent. This can also be an issue for corner rounding, so we generally advise clients with heavy coverage not to round corners.

Small Fonts Aren't Good

The minimum recommended text size is 6pt. With any small text, if grey use a black ink only version; if black, use 100% K.

Thin Lines Aren't Good

Anything thinner than a hairline stroke (0.25") - even at 100% K may look choppy when printed due to Indigo print resolution.

Indigo Resolution Is Different Than Offset

There is a screen to the Indigo print which customers should be aware of if they're comparing to traditional offset printing.

Minimum Line Thickness Of 0.5pt

Try to keep all line weights for graphics over 0.5pt. Anything under that can break up in the texture of the stipple.

For Small Elements, Simple Colour Builds Are Better

When working with small elements like lines or text, a simpler colour build is best to avoid misregistration. For example, 0/0/0/90 is a much better build than 20/20/20/40.

Proofing Will Delay Production Timelines

Orders with proofs will not begin print production until the proof is approved. If you are ordering rush printing and printed proofs the proof printing cannot be rushed.

PDF Layout Proofs: PDF layout proofs will be sent within 1 business day, rush orders will be given priority and sent asap during business hours. If file adjustments are required after the proof is sent the turnaround time is based on the time of final proof approval.

Printed Proofs | Photos of Proofs | Mailed Proofs: Printed proofs and photos of printed proofs require up to 4 business days to produce and cannot be rushed. If file adjustments are required after the proof is sent the turnaround time is based on the time of final proof approval.
