Printing in silver/gold

[Kaz]

What colour setup do I need to be able to do this please?

I've got corel, photoshop and inkscape to use for colours etc.

I thought about doing it in vinyl, but want to try it in colours as I could put the same thing on a mug as a tshirt, and really need both these colours on the mug.

Thanks

you can not print gold and silver in sublimation.
you can do metalic colors but beed special printer and metalic inks.

I print mugs with gold colour on them. There's a Gold in Corel Draw palette

[Paul]

o you mean golden yellow then I thought we talking about metalic colors

Thanks Dave, will need to go and delve further into the palettes then, it's been doing my head in. Why can't customers want something easy

[accdave]

If you go to the top of the colour bar where it tells you what pallette you are using, right click , then choose edit there is a find colour option

I've just added an attachment, doesn't look as good in a file as it does on a mug

I love this forum

Have an old mug that I use for heating/cooling the press, will try a sample on that, I'm sure I can find a space on it

O, I don't know, it is possible to make it look ok after a teweek in photo paint plastic texture is applied.

Oh wow, that's good

Something else for me to go figure out now

Don't suppose silver can be done that way?

Chrome can be done I think but silver isnt in the pallet.
