    How it behaves in production

    • GF Smith Colorplan Stone — 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 Stone dyed through?
    Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same stone as the face — no white core.
    Can you letterpress on Colorplan Stone?
    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 Stone 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.
