How do I set up Bright Silver Metallic or Clear Roll Labels with white ink?
White ink can be used as a base layer to create opaque areas on Clear labels or to block metallic shine on Bright Silver Metallic labels.
White ink setup requires a separate White Mask file:
- Black (100% K) = white ink prints
- White = no white ink
- Mask must match artwork size exactly
- Vector format only (EPS or PDF)
White ink behavior:
- Color + White Mask → solid, opaque color
- Color without mask → transparent (Clear) or metallic (Silver)
- Mask only → printed white
- No mask, no color → stock shows through
