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.

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

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

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

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

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

The finely stippled textured stock lends itself well to many applications like wedding invitations, business cards or graphics that are minimal (with lots of negative space).
