Is this a standard color with any inks yet? Seems to be growing in popularity.

Can't tell without a pic however, many silver shimmers can be combined with process inks.

Andy you are correct. With our retail customers that color has been requested by each. We start with silver shimmer when making it.

Just be to use transparent inks. As mentioned, standard inks normally do not have the qualities that will most likely overtake the shimmer affect

Much like Rick, I start with a Jewel Tone base, and then color with M3 inks. Printers seem to like the JT more than a shimmer base due to the (slight) difference in viscosity. Whatever keeps them happy and printing. LOL
