As the name implies, Metallic ink contains a lot of glitter in the ink, so you can make sparkly and gorgeous prints.
It is available in three colors: gold, silver, and copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things to be careful when choosing your mesh count <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metallic ink contains glitter, which is harder to pass through the mesh. When choosing your mesh count, pick coarser ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are ordering from our online store, pick 70 mesh with a cleaning, which is even easier for the ink to pass through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with Metallic ink: Part One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now let’s experiment with sparkly Metallic inks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the artwork that I will be using today. Two color printing of a planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1)Printing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The printing procedure is the same as for regular SURIMACCA ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(2)Ironing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ironing with some pressure compresses the ink and increases the density of glitter, which gives you more sparkly finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how they turned out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparkling! How Cute!
Metallic ink has a high coverage so it goes well on any color of material.
You can get clear, vivid prints even on a dark colored material such as black and navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with Metallic ink: Part Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can mix Metallic ink with regular SURIMACCA inks.
Add the shine to the color of your choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Made a couple of variations of mixed ink using Metallic ink, and printed with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixing metallic ink gives you not only the sparkly look but also the high coverage on the dark material!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Printed surfaces is sensitive to friction. Rubbing hard may cause the Metallic inks to peel off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When washing, it is most recommended to hand wash gently. If you are using a washing machine, please turn the print inside out and put it in a laundry net so that there will be less friction on the printed surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
