Clear and Solid Uses for Transparent Foils

Gerber Scientific Products


11 Transparent foils look great when used with reflective or metallic vinyls, but they can also be used as regular spot colors on white vinyl.

One of the great features of the GERBER EDGE is its ability to print with more than 60 spot colors (in addition to CMYK process color). Spot colors provide bright, solid color with color matching and effects that cannot be created with CMYK.

In addition to traditional opaque or solid spot colors, Gerber also offers a family of 11 Transparent Spot Colors. Transparent Spot Colors are formulated to allow the attributes of the base vinyl to show through the color. For example, if you print Transparent Green on reflective, you will get reflective green when the light hits the graphic. Or if you print Transparent Orange on metallic vinyl the result will be a metallic orange graphic.

The other great news about Transparent Foils is that they also serve double duty as regular spot colors if you print onto white. If you need a nice bright orange, a bright blue or a bright green, (or any of the 8 other Transparent Spot colors), the transparent spot colors can be the way to go.
