HELPFUL HINTS
When using Silver or Gold, keep in mind:
Best on coated stocks
Metallic Dry Inks are best used
in larger areas. These inks contain metallic particles, which is what gives them their shine. Delicate line art, thin rules, or small type don’t make sense for metallic ink, since you won’t get the full impact.
Metallic Dry Inks are opaque.
They are less affected by the color of the paper stock they are printed on, but are impacted by the nish of the paper. Coated stocks tend to be better choices for metallic colors.
Preserve the appearance of your metallic colors by using Knockout. If the metallic objects will be placed on top of a photograph or eld of color and you do not want the background to show through,
select Knockout Group.
