Iradescent inks?
« on: November 09, 2021, 09:26:41 AM »
are there Iridescent inks available that I could pull off the attached image. It's a portion of the art to show what they are going for.

Or would this have to be a foil thing?

Yes iridescent foils for sure, no two will be exactly alike however that may be the appeal.

It’s for a 1,000 shirts and we are not set up to heat press that many. Would take over a week.

Was hoping I could screw print it or possibly print the underlying colors and do a clear shimmer over it.

Or I’ll just pass ha

So the internal cost for the foil and perhaps even more with labor makes this a possible could you/should you or dare I say screw you

crystalina might give similar effect.
