Wholesale metallic ink printing

What about a metallic print media with standard inks? Gans Media makes some really neat looking materials that look similar to Phototex but have metallic/holographic look to them.

I don't know of any of the major wholesale printers that will handle metallic large format. You might just need to find someone with Rolland. Curious if WYLDGFI can?

Just for your information, we do screen print metallic ink here at FireSprint, but we really only go to about 24x36" max size.
Since metallic ink is rather problematic unless you run a lot of it, I figure the number of machines out there are pretty small. I don't know of anyone that has a Roland or Epson with metallic inks.

The only wallpaper I know of is Dreamscapes Bling. It is a little gawdy for the application (high end corporate office). I am considering matte silver metallic color change wrap film. We can print with white ink to block out certain parts since I don't want the entire image to have a metallic sheen. The color change wrap films don't appear to be made for printing, though, so we'll have to experiment.

I have silver in my Epson S80. How much metallic does the file have? It is pretty solid coverage or more spot colors?

He is a Merchant Member on here, shoot him a PM or contact him directly and he will send you some swatch samples out.
