How it behaves in production
- Gmund Colors Matt 31 · Sunflower — saturated yellow. Uncoated dyed-through coloured stock (300gsm) with a fine felt-matte surface and no sheen at all; the colour reads flat and fully saturated.
- DYED THROUGH — the colour runs the full thickness of the sheet, so a cut edge, a die-cut aperture and a drilled hole all come back the same colour as the face. Never render a white or grey core at the edge. Edge painting in the same colour is redundant on this stock.
- Light base — dark inks letterpress clean and read jewel-like, and foil in any colour sits crisply.
- Fine felt-matte and uncoated — never described as coated, glossy, pearlescent, sparkling or fibrous.
Common questions
- Is Gmund Colors Matt 31 · Sunflower dyed through?
- Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same saturated yellow as the face — no white core.
- Can you letterpress on Gmund Colors Matt 31 · Sunflower?
- 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 Gmund Colors Matt 31 · Sunflower in?
- 300 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.
