How to create a metallic polychromatic image for digital printing?
Metallic ink needs to be integrated as a 5th and 6th channel in the image. Mask the relevant parts of your picture and create
spot color channels from that. Choose a CMYK + spot color setting in the RIP. In simple vectorised images, use the color
replacement function of the RIP.
Find the best metallic effect by setting the ink limit of the spot color channels to 30-70%. To achieve the best metallic result a
reduction of metallic ink volume is necessary. Generally this corresponds to around 50% of the normal CMYK volume. Attention
should be paid to ink volumes to avoid drying problems when metallic is added to CMYK prints. Metallic ink has a strong
coverage, whereas CMY is transparent. Best results are achieved by printing CMY on top of metallic. The result depends on the
order of the print heads, the uni-directional print direction and the printer driver options. Start with a bi-directional mode, find
the right ink limit and then optimize by trying uni or under print modes.
