Re: printing on metallic paper?
Thanks to everybody who replied to my questions on this topic. I think I am going to try www.mpix.com. Just in case somebody else is interested, - I also found that one of the local printers (www.d1color.com) also offers such printing. They also print on ENDURA Metallic paper. Here is their "informercial" article about this paper: http://www.d1color.com/detail.lasso?ID=62&Section=NEWS&Category=Masterson%20Photography Igor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

RE: printing on metallic paper?
HI, Igor I have an epson r220 which has a feature for printing on cd/dvds - the discs themselves, that is. I have a project that I need to print on acetate sheets and it occured to me to use the CD/DVD setting that my printer allows - it worked like a charm. But I'm not printing in color - just black and white. I'm guessing that it word work for metallic coated paper. ann Original Message: - From: Igor Roshchin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 18:58:23 -0400 (EDT) To: PDML@pdml.net Subject: printing on metallic paper?

Red River Paper (http://www.redrivercatalog.com/browse/cat=4&prod=30.htm) offers a paper coated with either silver or gold metallic film for use with inkjet printers. It is not recommended for use with pigmented ink printers, however. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Igor Roshchin Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 6:58 PM To: PDML@pdml.net Subject: printing on metallic paper?

One of the folks at the Pacific Art League nearby me has been printing onto thin, treated aluminum panels with an Epson 7600. His treatment for the panels, and printing methodology, is as yet his personal secret.

Re: printing on metallic paper?
www.mpix.com has a color paper they refer to as metallic. I've never ordered metallic prints but the sample they sent is nice. A well-prepared file using a calibrated monitor and sRGB always produces very nice results on their Crystal Archive Lustre paper be sure to check the box that says "apply no corrections" (or something to that effect).
