Transparent inks

This is a great tip. You’d think that it wouldn’t matter with a transparent ink, but hard experience teaches otherwise! Thanks for saving us from having to learn the hard way. :)I did a couple pieces last year that called for saturated, jewel-like color that was still translucent (not quite the solids found in the Pantone book), so we found that mixing the colors with transparent rather than opaque white kept the color strong, but gave it the trendy jewel tones we were going for. Looks like those colors are going to be around this fall as well, judging by the Pantone projections!

thanks kseniya, I was just going to print with some jewel tone colors this evening and I may try it with some transparent white and see how it looks.
