Warning: Do Not Print on Colored Stock
“Many designers make the mistake of printing their designs on colored stock, which ends up distorting the ink colors and makes the design hard to see.”
This from a list of “typical mistakes” made by those designing for print, according to “Vladimir” (let’s just grant him some anonymity, shall we?).
Oh, it is still painful. Especially as Vladimir is from a printing company and shared his “insights” on a design blog. This is so black and white, so all or nothing, so...wrong.
