CP overlay- what colors are possible?
« on: May 13, 2004, 10:11:34 pm »
So I'm designing my CP overlay, and I have some questions that may be better answered by the folks offering printing services, but I thought others might know- so I'm asking. :)

Basically, what are my options as far as colors?  Is it possible to print in white?  Are metallic colors possible?

I know they have a vinyl that looks like brushed metal.  Could I get parts of a CPO printed on that?

I'd like to find out what my limitations are before I get this thing designed and find out I can't get what I want...

All flat colors (including white)

No metallics (unless you did custom screen printing)

You would print a brushed metal pattern. You wouldn't print ON a brushed metal pattern.

The services generally provide something that LOOKS like vinyl. The actual process is closer to high-end inkject printing on cardstock that is heavily laminated to look & feel like vinyl. Basically anything that you can print on your computer's printer, you could get done via one of the services.
