In the realm of explicit opaque printing techniques, the use of metallic inks has prevailed in the printing industry to accentuate vivid descriptions.

Intense in color, metallic inks are more viscous than other inks. Affiliated with 4-5 times high pigment content than the standard ink, metallic printing imparts concrete vivacious colors onto any fabric.

Process

Obtaining an attribute of high reflection, commands for the vast peel of a metal with abrasive edge. It is an economic process but the temperature should be constantly regulated to above 150 degree Celsius. Fabric inks constantly take up heat to activate a pigment adhesive that binds them to the substrate.

Primitively, use of the screen presses was more prominent to place a white base layer then passing it through the digital printer. Much the same way, metallic inks are fastened with screen meshes that have large holes to survive with large pigment particles.

To retain the prolonged effects, it is advised to only use water as a cleanser. Stir the ink to obtain a perfect homogeneous blend before starting the process.
