Xerox White Dry Ink

Xerox White Dry Ink plays multiple role in printing process: It enables white to be printed on coloured substrates — sitting atop either non-white media or CMYK-printed images. It can provide a bright white base coat for optimising CMYK vibrancy and enabling variable information printing on coloured surfaces.

It can broaden the range of non-white substrates that can be used for invitations, menus and various marketing pieces — such as direct mail, postcards, business cards and posters — often to strike an effect.  And when printed in percentages rather than full coverage, white ink can create frost or translucent effects.
