Printing & Color

4by6.com offers 3 types of printing & finish

Each card type is printed on premium white SFI certified stock with soy based VOC free inks.

4/1 (four over one) Our most writable card. 4/1cards are printed on a 12pt. C1S (coated one side) paper stock. This means that the back side has no coating and can be easily written on by any pen or pencil, inkjet or laser printer. Easy to write on and easy to mail in bulk. The back side is printed in grayscale (black ink only)

4/4 (four over four) is printed on a 12pt C2S (coated two sides) stock. You get the beauty of full color on both sides, but the surface is a bit harder to write on. Ball point/permanant ink pens. Inkjet printing may smear if not allowed to dry properly.

Satin is our premium card stock. Printed 4/4 with an extra coating on both sides produces a heftier card with a wonderful feel. Wear and moisture resistant, these cards have to be felt to be believed. Order a sample pack. Our Satin stock is very tough but this also makes it difficult to write on. Sharpies or stick on labels are your best bet for writing and addressing.
