Get to know Metallic Ink

Metallic ink screen printing is used in the custom apparel industry to create shiny, metallic effects on garments of all kinds. It involves using metallic inks containing tiny particles of reflective materials like aluminum, bronze, or copper. These metallic inks are forced through a fine mesh screen onto the desired substrate during screen printing, creating a printed design with a metallic sheen.
