White Ink Printing. Gerber Edge thermal printer
Gerber Edge printing. Thermal perinter delivers affordable white ink printing.
Printing white ink sounds easy enough, right? Wrong! Most digitally based print shops can't print white ink because white is not necessarily a color. White is actually an absence of color and can't be digitally printed because, in essence, the white you are achieving on a digital print is actually from the white vinyl material that the artwork is being printed onto. Achieving a "white" print on clear is virtually impossible in the digital printing industry. Most white ink decals actually have to be printed on clear vinyl material and then "backed" with a layer of white material to give the appearance of white. There are, however, print shops that still utilize a specific printing machine, called a Gerber EdgeFX, that has the capabilities to print white ink decals onto clear vinyl material.
