Metallics and Shimmers
Metallics and Shimmers
Metallics and shimmers are an excellent way to convey your creativity by highlighting or creating your design with metal-like effects.
--Choose shimmers for a more subtle metallic effect (matte finish).
--Shimmers are impervious to tarnishing and are the best choice for long term use.
--For a polished finish choose Liquid Gold* or Liquid Silver*, not recommended for 100% poly garments.
*Liquid Silver and Gold are true metallics (metal flake) and thus will tarnish over a multitude of washings.
--All metallic inks are available at no additional charge and on regular turnarounds
--To maximize your metallic prints wash the garments inside-out in cold water and hang to dry
--Shimmers can be mixed to match the Pantone Metallic Guide (871c-877c series).
--Not compatible with halftone gradients below 20% or above 80%, coarse halftone dots strongly recommended.
--PLEASE NOTE: the pattern of holes in the dragons shown below is a halftone effect created only for example in OUR artwork
