At Century Graphics & Sign, we offer many technological and creative processes that truly set us apart as an industry leader. One of these is our ability to digitally print metallic inks onto certain types of media. Our graphics department includes the Roland VS-540 digital printing system, which -- among other impressive operations -- prints metallic inks with ease.
The VS-540 uses an ingenious mechanical and chemical method to produce a range of metallic looks from true silver, to gold, and anodized looks. The metallic application process begins with a base metallic silver ink which, through different basing and mixing techniques, combines to produce a wide variety of incredible looks. The silver can be printed alone, or layered and combined with other process color formulas to produce everything from gold to the stannic reds, greens, and blues of anodization. This short video shows some of the creative and mechanical process, highlighting the end result:
The look is great for setting your company's or organization's visual images apart, and provides a striking appeal that cannot be ignored.
