Metallic inks shine on

Important ink

The biggest news in metallic inks are vacuum metallized pigments (VMPs). VMPs, and their ultra-high sheen and relative low cost, are credited with a recent increase in the diversity and demand of alternative metallic ink applications.

Ink suppliers rave about the smooth, brilliant, and clean qualities of VMPs that give the ink a mirror effect. They also boast that, when reverse printed on a clear label, VMPs look like foil.
