When handling Silk Matte coated cards, you might notice visible fingerprints left on the surface. This is especially noticeable if you have printed a dark color as the background.
What is Silk Matte?
In printing terms, Silk Matte is the same as Soft Touch coating. It provides a smooth, velvety finish that feels luxurious to the touch.
Why Do Fingerprints Appear?
The smooth surface of Silk Matte can show fingerprints more easily, particularly on darker colors. The oils from your fingers can leave marks that are more visible against the matte finish.
How to Minimize Fingerprints
Handle with Care: Try to hold the cards by the edges to avoid touching the printed surface.
Clean Hands: Ensure your hands are clean and dry before handling the cards.
Dark Colors: Be aware that dark backgrounds will show fingerprints more easily.
