How it behaves in production
- GF Smith Colorplan Lockwood Green — 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 Lockwood Green dyed through?
- Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same lockwood green as the face — no white core.
- Can you letterpress on Colorplan Lockwood Green?
- 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 Lockwood Green 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.
