Question
Does white ink printing cost more than standard CMYK?
Answer
Usually a little more. White ink needs an extra print pass with a specialty ink, which adds to the base cost, but the gap narrows as quantities rise.
- The extra white pass carries a small premium over plain CMYK.
- Per-unit cost drops significantly at higher quantities.
- A double hit for extra opacity can add slightly more.
- On dark or clear stock, the visual impact usually justifies the small added cost.
