- Artwork setup for silver ink (metal effect):
- Set up your design as spot colour named "silver" and assign it the colour value "100 % silver".
- All elements in "silver" special-effect colour must be set to overprint if you want a metal effect of the underlying colour.
- To get plain silver, leave the element at knock out.
- The elements created separately for the silver ink must be set up on the design.
- The artwork files must be submitted as PDF; JPEG or TIF formats are not suitable.
- Please observe the special requirements regarding the forgery-proof security ink visible under black light:
- The reactive ink is printed on top of the "normal motif", i.e. it is overprinted with the invisible UV ink.
- Therefore, you have to create a special colour which contains your individual security motif.
- Create your security motif as special colour, name it "UV" and assign it the colour value "100 % magenta".
- All objects of the "UV" spot colour must be set to overprint.
- The print files must be supplied in PDF format; JPEG or TIF is not suitable because all levels are merged here.
- The surface covered by the spot colour "UV" must not exceed 30 % on the whole page
Product details
- Four-colour print on the front and reverse (four colours plus one spot colour) (5/5)
- What's special about silver ink:
- creates a metal effect that brings designs to life and captures light in different ways
- Silver ink is not comparable to foil finishing (no mirror effect, no gloss)
- Silver ink works best when used over large areas – less suitable for partial finishes of small areas, delicate lines and fonts
- The metal look is most effective on light colours with low coverage. Dark colours usually have higher coverage and do not allow the underlying silver to show through well enough.
