INK
SELECTION |
|
When
you close your eyes, what are the colours you see for one of the most
important days you will share together with your loved one? Colour is
capable of capturing a myriad of subtle moods, feelings and memories.
The first day you met, the smell of spring, the romance of a candlelit
dinner on an island at sunset. To us, colour is the single most important
element in an invitation. It brings life to the paper in which it is
printed on.
At 9SpotMonk, we use very little ink in our studio, no more than 10 to 15 pounds
a year. An entire wedding suite contains as little as one to two teaspoons of
ink. As an small printing company that strives to be as eco-friendly as possible,
we have found that soy-based inks are not as environmentally friendly as once
thought. Substituting soy-based ink
for rubber based
ink does decrease the amount of petroleum usage. However, many of the
world’s |
forest
are being cut to grow soy because of the demand. Most soy-based inks
are only about 20 to 30% soy oil and they are no
less toxic than petroleum-based inks. Our low voc [volitile organic compounds]
rubber-based ink have the dense body texture to print much better on
letterpress machines. They create beautiful tints and strong solids,
creating at the end, a beautiful invitation.
Please note: Computer monitors display colours differently. For a correct colour
swatch, please contact one of our exclusive retailers.
If a retailer is not in
your area, please contact our studio.
