White foil on colored paper is such a great choice when you want reversed text. Opaque white letterpress ink doesn’t tend to print crisply and it’s not totally opaque. And printing a color flood background with knocked out text can look uneven and can lead to scuffing. White foil prints crisply and has near 100% opacity.
