Hi,
I would like to recieve advice on using Pantone 877 (silver) printed on dark media (in my case blue).
To achieve this result I converted my grayscale image to MultiChannel. I added one channel with 100 percent blue to simulate the Blue media, I inverted my original grayscale and set it to Pantone 877 ink with 100% solidity.
The result looks ok and I look forward to see it printed !
But here is my issue:
How can I be sure of the printed result? What dot gain percentage shall I use?
My printer says that silver doesn’t screen well!
Has anyone tested something similar?
Any positive or negative experience welcome …
Maybe do any of you know a better way to do this ?
Best Regards.
