Metallic Gold - PMS suggestions

[sean3325]

Can anyone recommend a PMS Gold that will print well on black paper? I've heard there tends to be transparency issues when attempting to do this, any advice or examples of successful prints would be appreciated. Thanks.

White underprint, but that might be too powerful.

I always have good results with just regular speedball gold on black. We use a 147 mesh screen, which lays down a ton.

Are you talking about screenprinting or offset?

The real trick with gold, on a t-shirt at least, is a yellow underprint. Something like PMS 124.

We do pretty much the same, just use a 200 screen with decent results.

Nazdar 5500 Brilliant Pale Gold. Looks great on black paper.

Good point. Also don't do white, follow Richies advice.
