Thanks for the negative response. I guessed that but it is nice to have it
confirmed. Daughter-in-law elect wants to print her own Wedding Invitations! I am suggesting stick-on silver decorations, available in a large number of patterns from craft shops.

Avery makes a paper that when you print on it the inks look metallic. Looks
very nice. I would try looking for that paper. "Peter Williams" wrote in message ... Do metallic inks for inkjet printers exist? And if they do where are they hiding? Thanks in anticipation Peter Williams |

Did your daughter look at the preprinted cards that many greeting card and
party stores sell for custom printing in either inkjet or laser printers? I have done several of these for my wife as invitations to baby and bridal showers. "Peter Williams" wrote in message ...

If you have a black laser printer, or even a photocopier, you can use
foils which only stick to the toner on the printed surface. The way these work whatever it is you want in foil (metallic) with a black laser printer. You then place a sheet of metallic foil over the area that contains the printed area you wish to be metallic foiled, and run it through the printer again, or any other heated roller device, like a laminator, you do not print during that operation, just sin the heat and fuser of the printer. When the print comes out, the foil will be stuck onto the paper, You then peel off the plastic coating and anywhere the toner was is now coated with metallic color. These foils come it a wide variety of colors including marbling and others. When the sheet is striped off, the metallic is very shiny. If you run it through the heat source yet another time it becomes matte finished. You can even cut smaller pieces and use a variety of different colors fro different areas of the image or text.
