Metal Inks Market Scope
Metal inks are suitable for printing on coated and uncoated paper and cardboard. Printing with thicker ink film needs lower print piles and dusting. Copper, aluminum, bronze or zinc are used to manufacturer metallic inks. When metallic ink is printed and left to dry, the metallic elements rise to the surface, reflecting light and creating a metallic shine. Metallic inks form a similar but less intense, effect than foil stamping because they are applied as paste or liquid ink. Metallic inks contain actual flakes of metal in them. These flakes are designed to form together as the ink dries and create a layer of shiny metal on the surface of a paper.
