Mar 4, 2008 11:16 AM

If I want to place an image into a box that has a White background, is there a difference between White vs Paper?
Thanks

    There's no such color as white. Use paper just to get yourself use to the concept that you want the paper to show through.

    It is possible to define a spot White ink. Not very useful in offset printing, but widely used in silk screen and packaging design.

    I usually use C, M or Y to designate white plate on a job. Not like you can see a white plate.

    over the years I have used white ink in offset printing about 5 times. Always because I needed a white base and I was printing on colored paper.

    Thanks.

    Using paper will be perfect. Nothing to do with white ink. thanks for the prompt answers.

    Just bear in mind that "paper" actually can be any color you give it to simulate colored paper.

    Also, a color named white could be globally manipulated at a later date. If you had many objects or text colored with "white" dropping out of a dark background, you could decide to globally change "white" to something like 10% yellow any timecan't do that with Paper.

    PMS white is actually tinting medium - ie a non pigmented varnish to 'thin' down the strength of a mixed ink.

    White ink is generally used in aluminium can printing and CD on body labels to give a base for the subsequent inks to sit on.
