Digital BW, The Print

Brian,

I have had offset prints done with a silver ink as a fifth, so I know what you 
mean. However, I doubt that anything like that is in the future of inksets for 
inkjets. The silver inks depend on actual metalic particles that would probably 
clog the print heads instantly. Sounds like a silkscreen job to me, if you must 
have them on a limited edition fine-art print.

that it is probably a quadratone process with a fourth color being the metallic 
silver ink. All of the ads have it and most of the images in the magazine. Hold 
one up the the light and you'll see the reflection. I don't have a copy here but if 
you don't see it, I'll get one and report back. The inside cover is often the most 
obvious if I remember correctly.
