: How to get a transparent and even effect printed on card board? I want the card to shine through an even pink colour. Do I use silk screen? Overprint? Transparency? How to get this even and

@Smith574

You can achieve this with offset or silk screen or even most other printing methods. You'll need to print the pink as a solid color (eg. Pantone Uncoated, no screen, no cmyk). Usually the printing colors are not opaque, so the cardboard will be 'tinted' not laquered. It's not complicated, but always talk to your printer (the man, not the device) to make sure he knows what you want to do. The grey value of the cardboard will add up to the pink, so choose a slightly brighter pink or it will get darker than you expect.
