printable silver foil/chrome vinyl help please!
I have been asked by a customer for small labels printed on silver foil. I got a sample of silver vinyl but it wasn’t printable. I was wondering if someone can tell me where i can purchase such vinyl.
I also had a thought of printing on to clear vinyl and then applying it on to the silver but the problem i had was that you could see some glue from the clear vinyl. Would anyone know if it would be possible to print on to laminate and apply that onto the silver?? I dont have a laminator and not any experience with laminating so was thinking of doing this by hand.
Cheers. 😀

R-tape has a printable chrome. As do the Gerber Edge though that material is only 6 months indoors.
If you print on clear and laminate over the chrome you’ll get a shading effect since the print is placed a few 0.05 mm above the chrome. Enough to give a wierd effect.
