Sunn Pro is a free Handrwriting font, created by Rit Creative team - Gatis Vilaks and Krišjānis Mežulis. They wanted to create a handwriting font wich would still be a little bit “clumsy” but with a strong construction underneath. This is a great decorative font for headlines, names and short descriptions.

What is the CMYK Value for Gold: 

A recent question was asked if we can recommend a CMYK value that will look like gold when printed on our extra-thick business cards.

Our Answer: It is really difficult to say - we did recently produce a card for a customer where they used 25/30/60/10 for their type with a solid black background adding gold edge-color.

In all honesty - the color on the printed card doesn't look gold - it's more of a tan but it's interesting and works well with the gold edge and solid black coverage.

Taking out some magenta and adding yellow to this base CMYK (something like 25/20/80/0) pushes it a bit more to a golden appearance on screen, but we are really not in a position to make a definite claim to this as being true gold only to have you print and not like the end result.

If you do a search for "CMYK values for gold color" - you will see a ton of different view points on the subject. #businesscards

Just printed our new sample kit pocket folders to be ready in a few weeks. Very exciting. It's like the shoemakers shoes - took a while for us to get around to creating a nice sample kit holder/folder. #thickprinting

More Kraft business cards. Solid dark colors printed on the Kraft with reds works nicely. Dark colors have more pop on the Desert Storm, the lighter shade of the two Kraft papers we offer. #thickprinting #kraft
