Southern Ink Metallic Gold Inks are crafted to meet the highest standards of brilliance and performance, providing a luxurious finish that enhances the elegance of any printed piece. Available in a variety of convenient packaging sizes to suit your specific needs, our Metallic Gold Inks are designed for both small-scale projects and large production runs, making them the perfect choice for printers seeking versatility and quality in their metallic ink options.
One of the standout features of our Metallic Gold Inks is their extended stay-open time, which is longer than that of most widely available metallic inks. This unique formulation ensures that the ink remains workable for longer periods, reducing the risk of drying out on the press and allowing for smoother, uninterrupted printing sessions. Once printed, these inks dry hard on the sheet, providing a durable, high-quality finish that stands up to handling and wear. A word of caution, although our metallic gold inks stay open longer than most others, they do dry on equipment and develop a skin in the can much faster than our other blending bases or inks. Differences in pressroom conditions will determine how long they stay open.
Our Metallic Gold Inks have a high brilliance and excellent hiding power, offering a striking visual impact that draws attention and adds a premium touch to any design. Metallic inks, by their nature, are more opaque than conventional inks, providing solid coverage with a reflective sheen that captures and reflects light beautifully. However, due to their opacity and the metallic particles within the ink, the mileage may be slightly less than what you're accustomed to with our other ink formulations. This trade-off is well worth it for the stunning effect these inks bring to your projects.
Among our offerings, PMS 871 stands out as the most popular choice for achieving a classic "gold" color. This shade is widely favored for its rich, warm tone that closely resembles traditional gold, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from luxury packaging to high-end invitations. As you move up the Pantone scale, the colors become progressively "redder," culminating in PMS 876, which leans more towards a copper hue. This progression allows for a variety of metallic effects, depending on the desired outcome.
Additionally, PMS 874 is frequently used as a base in those metallic blends where gold is a key component. Its balanced tone serves as an excellent foundation for creating custom metallic shades, giving you the flexibility to achieve the exact look you envision.
At Southern Ink, we take pride in delivering inks that not only meet but exceed industry standards. Our Metallic Gold Inks are no exception, offering printers a reliable, high-performance solution for adding a touch of luxury to their printed materials. Whether you're looking to create eye-catching business cards, elegant stationery, or sophisticated packaging, Southern Ink Metallic Gold Inks provide the brilliance, opacity, and durability you need to make your projects shine.
