How it behaves in production

GF Smith Colorplan Factory Yellow — smooth uncoated European stock, dyed through to the core.
Because it is dyed through, a cut edge, deboss, or die-cut aperture shows the SAME colour as the face — never a white core.
Surface is smooth and matte with a faint natural tooth. Never render it coated, glossy, or laminated.
Light enough that letterpress behaves normally — no darkening caveat needed.
Foil against this shade reads soft and modern; matte metallics especially.

Common questions

Is Colorplan Factory Yellow dyed through?: Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same factory yellow as the face — no white core.
Can you letterpress on Colorplan Factory Yellow?: Yes — it is one of the techniques we run on this stock. Letterpress ink is semi-translucent, so on darker shades it reads tone-on-tone; on light shades it prints as expected.
What weights do you stock Colorplan Factory Yellow in?: 350 gsm. Heavier weights can usually be duplexed to order — ask and we will confirm before quoting.
Can I see it before I order?: Yes, and you should. Screens flatten texture and shift colour. We send physical samples of any stock in this directory before you commit.
