foil and film
Hi just got a great job to do for Ardman!
I need silver and gold foil I can print onto, as well as clear sticky film.
I will be printing on my Epson 7600 and Canon W2200.Anyone know what is good and where I can get it?

I would start by Phoning round the suppliers like Europoint, Grafityp, Victory, Cox Plastics etc etc.
Don’t know anything about the printers but if they are dye or pigment based printers you may struggle to find a foil they will print to. If by clear sticky film you mean a clear laminate or vinyl then the same suppliers should be able to help you. -
you will only be able to print onto a foil using a thermal printer.
the way around this would be to laminate a foil with a clear digital vinyl, then printing onto that.
both these types of vinyl are available from reputable suppliers. -
Found some…

that is for dye inks ask before ordering the printers you list are probably pigmented type and may not dry on that surface.

Actually Rob, we are taking stock of several foils which so far have accepted thermal , UV and solvent printing and all look very good when done.
