How it behaves in production
- Gmund Heidi Faded Grey 530gsm — a washed cool mid-grey board with the same deep felt tooth, dyed through so the edge matches the face.
- At 530gsm it is roughly twice a heavy business card: render a THICK, visible edge with a clean square cut, never a thin sheet.
- The tooth is the identity — a deep, irregular felt grain that catches raking light. Uncoated and toothy: never described as coated, glossy or smooth.
- The weight is the point: a deep letterpress or blind deboss bite on BOTH faces without the impression telegraphing through.
- No 4-colour process, no photographic imagery, no fine gradients — the surface breaks them up.
- Mid-tone stock: dark inks hold, but pale type wants foil rather than ink to stay legible.
Common questions
- Is Gmund Heidi Faded Grey 530gsm dyed through?
- No. Gmund Heidi Faded Grey 530gsm is not a dyed-through sheet, so a cut edge will not match the printed face. If you need a coloured edge on this stock we add painted edging as a separate operation.
- Can you letterpress on Gmund Heidi Faded Grey 530gsm?
- 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 Heidi Faded Grey 530gsm in?
- 530 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.
