Trapping is the precise relationship between two ink colors when they abut together on a printed sheet. Your designer should incorporate a 'trap' into your artwork. If no trap is added, a white gap may appear between colors. If too much trap is added, a dark line will appear where the colors overlap. Click here for examples of trapped images.

The paper stocks used to produce our recycled business cards are also Green Seal Certified or Green-e Wind Energy certified, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified, and Carbon Neutral or Carbon Neutral Plus.

What type of ink is used to print your sustainable business cards?

Each business card is printed with soy-based ink, with the exception of special printing methods.

What type of paper weight does Dolphin Blue use for its printed business cards?

We offer a variety of paper weights from the industry-standard 80lb. cover up to double-thick 130 lb.

Does Dolphin Blue offer textured papers?

Do you have a

Dolphin Blue requires print-ready artwork; if you need a reference to a creative and reliable designer Dolphin Blue can provide a reference.

How do Dolphin Blue's printed business cards compare to business cards printed using virgin materials?

Unlike most printed business cards, Dolphin Blue uses the most ecologically responsible stock available, post-consumer recycled paper. In fact, all of our business cards are printed with soy ink on 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and are FSC-Certified, Green Seal Certified, and Carbon Neutral. Our environmentally responsible business cards are also made in the USA to keep our local communities and neighborhoods financially strong and socially responsible.

Do you offer ''glossy'' business cards?

No, we do not print our recycled business cards on glossy stocks for a variety of reasons. First, a glossy surface requires a varnish coating that is loaded with highly toxic VOC's, made from a petroleum by-product, which are bad for air quality and our planet. In addition, gloss paper requires special "heat-set" print equipment that uses an excessive amount of energy and produces extreme heat.
