How it behaves in production

Deep saturated cotton — deep saturated navy. Letterpress goes tone-on-tone only (ink darkens on dark cotton — see TECHNIQUE_RULES).
Foil (metallic or matte) is the hero technique — gold, silver, copper, rose-gold, pearl all sing on this stock.
White pigment ink or blind deboss both work; do NOT propose regular dark inks for legibility-critical text on this stock.

Common questions

Is Gmund Cotton Power Blue dyed through?: Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same deep saturated navy as the face — no white core.
Can you letterpress on Gmund Cotton Power Blue?: 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 Cotton Power Blue 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.

Pairs beautifully with

Three combinations that hold up on press. Open one and the Studio starts with the stock, the foil and the ink already locked in.

Gmund Cotton Power Blue + CHENHUI Pigment Opaque White

CHENHUI Pigment Opaque White is the only honest way to get a light mark onto a sheet this dark — ink would sink into it. On a textured dyed-through stock the foil sits proud and the sheet stays matte around it.
