Have any of you ever printed hexachrome as opposed to 4 color process? I'm wanting to learn the process and have heard that files are submited in RGB format?
Also, what about metallic ink? How do you specify metallic ink in your files? I'm assuming there's a specific spotcolor defined?
thx

And for the metallic ink thingy, I imagine u just have to specify it to the prepress guy or something. Not too sure about that though.
:D

Thanks Patrick. Have you ever done a hexachrome job? I imagine the cost must be prohibitive because I don't really know any designers who have done a 6 color job.
metallic ink thingy...hopefully I will find out soon. ;)
