  Does anyone have experience screen printing on black or dark paper with metallic ink?

  I'm looking for suggestions on ink brands and silk mesh. Preferably gold ink that has gold flakes and is not just "gold" colored.

  i've done tshirts and if you want a real metallic its gotta be a foil transfer, not ink.

  I had this done at half and half. Silver metallic ink on French Black 100#. Sorry I don't know about ink brands though.

  You might want to look into printing with Pantone 871c.
  it's a gold metallic ink.

  More info: http://www.pantone.com/downloads…

  Not sure if this would work the same with screen printing.
  I use Pantone 877c Silver for my personal business cards, there is a lustre or brilliance when the light shines on it, but it isn't very pronounced. not like those trashy hot-foil looking metallics. it's dope.

  I know that Nazdar is good stuff as far as inks go. They have pretty much any thing you want. My color selector from them shows ~ 10 different gold ink options, particle sizes, leafing/non-leafing. They aren't cheap, but they are industry standard from my exp. You'll probably have to order from them or a supplier. http://www.nazdar.com
