Gold Holographic or Gold Vinyl Supplier

[Goatshaver]

Been looking for some thicker holographic or metallic gold vinyl 4mils or thicker. No sign vinyl as I need it for stickers.

I want to run them on my UV printer and not laminate them so ideally something 6mils would be perfect, but I can really only find a regular holographic in 6mils.

Just to point out, printing a shade of yellow on chrome makes a pretty nice gold. At least with latex inks, not sure how transparent UV ink is. If you wanted to mount your own adhesive, there's always mylar...

Printing yellow on chrome works well with eco-solvent too, just make sure the chrome vinyl is eco-solvent compatible.

I print on gold adhesive film, it's only 2mil though. Fun stuff to UV print on, and decent results.

Yeah I tried printing on UV but it's not nearly as transparent as solvent inks.

It may be a last resort if I need to. I had previously don't gold stickers for them a couple of years ago but I can't get that same material anymore.

Dangeresque has gold sunglasses, so was a fun print. Got the gold as a small sample roll, so wanted to see how well it worked. Color on white print on the UCJV300, but would probably work well on solvent too.

Holy cow, I have quite a bit of homestar to catch up on. Last I looked at it was 2006. Strongbad's emails were magnificent to my highschool brain, wonder how they hold up these days...

Ended up ordering some gold, but not didn't pay attention and it was a rose gold color. (Doh). Thought the RGOLD meant it was Rainbow Gold...now I got all this pink gold material to find a use for.
So I went and came up with a color to come close to the gold vinyl I printed on before. Doesn't look exactly the same, but I told them it wouldn't be an exact match to the previous run from a couple years ago. I used some sign vinyl that has been out of stock for at least a month now.
Right is the sign gold sign vinyl and left is the printed sticker.
