Hi gang. Few weeks ago I got a sample of a metallic "Liquid Silver" ink from these guys
http://totalinksolutions.com/product/metallic-jewel-ink/I printed a job with shimmer and rhinestones over the weekend and while I had a screen still on the press, I decided to give it a try.
I printed the shimmed PFP through 155 mesh and it looked great. Just a bit rough when printed (it is a shimmer) but it smoothed out when I applied rhinestones.
When it came the time to try the new ink, I just needed to print it with two strokes and no flashing, it looked much better than shimmer. Smooth, bright and very sharp at the edges of the print. I guess which ink I will be getting next.
They gave me also a few whites to try, I will be trying that when I get a chance too.
