SUPRAMETAL®  inks  are  produced  from  metallised  aluminium  pigments  under vacuum (VMP). This process is very long and complicated  but  produces  in  very special aluminium pigment which provide  a subsquently metallic brilliance superior to the normal type of aluminium pigments.

■ The printing on good coated substrates with a smooth surface enables the SUPRAMETAL® to produce an exceptional metallic effect. In certain cases, it can be akin to Chrome or a Mirror effect.

■ These inks are designed to print on commercial documents and High quality packaging for which a high metallic brilliance is beneficial.

■ In certain cases, the SUPRAMETAL® inks could replace hot foiling, cold foiling as well as metallised substrates. The metallic brilliance of SUPRAMETAL® can approach these effects sufficiently to offer a credible and practical alternative.

■ The production of these inks being very complex, their cost is very high in comparison to the standard metallic inks. But, when they are compared to the cost of foiling or metallised substrates, the SUPRAMETAL® becomes an economical alternative.  This is especially true if the unprinted surface is less than 30 - 40% of the total surface
