  My own opinion would be if you are not a printer then don’t print his stationery at all, you probably don’t have the right equipment to do it professionally. As for Gold it would need to be foil blocked to get a proper gold colour.

  As Martin said , you need to get it done by a good print company.
  Do a search on the internet and you’ll find quite a few.

  Other than that find an old Alps or Oki printer with the micro dry head, they can print metallics and white. Roland pc series used the same head.

  Genuine metallic inks cost more to print litho than regular Pantones.

  But look far better than trying to achieve a gold affect with 4 colour print.

  Find a local jobbing litho printer with a single or 2 colour press.
