The Basics

There are some intriguing alternatives that you might not be familiar with, in addition to the traditional ink colors used in screen printing like cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and everything in between. You may use metallic inks in your printing process to give your t-shirt design a distinctive impact. Metallic inks grab the eye because they have tiny metal flecks, like aluminum, that give them a bright look. Initially, metallic inks were only available in silver and gold; but, nowadays, a number of additional hues, including blue, purple, and red, are also available. The inks appear to be formed of metal because of how brilliant and glaring they are. Metallic inks are frequently more expensive, despite the fact that the metal particles in them are small and mix in with the ink. This is due to the fact that they take longer to prepare and have a propensity to bleed through and run off shirts during the printing process, requiring more care and work.

Design Ideas

We provide a wide range of items that can benefit from metallic ink printing. Consider designing a t-shirt with your company name and emblem printed in metallic ink if you want to market your business (extra points if you include a lightning bolt). In addition, I’ve observed the successful usage of metallic inks on bespoke sweatpants for sports teams, particularly track and cross country teams who want their emblem to shine out. Don’t forget to include shimmering metallic inks in your sweatshirt design if you’re purchasing sweatpants so your squad may compete in the trendiest, most fashionable warm-ups possible.

Metallic inks are absolutely eye-catching and creative. You will be quite happy with the outcomes if you can afford the extra money (which is typically paid as two colors).
