Last question I promise and thanks for the help
OK I am looking for Brushed Aluminum, gold and Polish Silver and gold
But here is the thing, I need this media to be printable and not just cad material. I have found all 4 on MetaMark but they are around 11.50 PM + Vat

Expensive, but oddly I cannot find any similar materials on Grapityp and APS
I have found this on MDP but do not believe it is printable
http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/k70000met.aspAny ideas of other suppliers as this is an experiment and I dont want to spend 280 quid on 5 meters each of the four metallics digital print media
Cheers

Possibly but I am worried about profiling the media
Im still learning and would rather get the media profiles from the experts

APS products:
Metallised Films:
Brushed Silver: APS LC5111
Brushed Gold: APS LC51121
Gloss Silver: APS LC511
Gloss Gold: APS LC5120I think there still around £10 PLM, and believe you can print on them – But ring and check!
I too have had success printing onto CAD vinyl before without problems.

You can print on normal media – just make sure you clean it using IPA beforehand (easily done using a soft lint free cloth soaked in alcohol). I usually load the vinyl into the machine first then run out the length of vinyl to be printed. You can then wind it back in whilst cleaning the vinyl. This gives good results.
You can experiment using existing profiles for white and clear vinyls.

Don’t be too worried about profiles. We find that on most vinyl they don’t seem a lot different. We use MD5 profile for most things and thats fine.
