💡 Best Printing Practices for This Paper
Because of the heavy, uneven wave ridges, standard printing methods can be tricky. For the best results, use:
-
Foil Stamping: Metallic foils press beautifully into the textured valleys, creating a stunning contrast against the matte paper.
-
Letterpress or Blind Debossing: Rather than fighting the texture, deep pressing into the paper creates a striking, tactile contrast.
-
High-Quality Digital/Inkset Printing: If printing text, test a sample first. Laser printers may leave gaps in the deep valleys of the wave texture, whereas heavy inkjet or professional offset printing handles the texture much beter
