| Well u may not. But if you buy coloured ink for the printer that and u type something that is gold or silver u may end up printing the words silver or gold |

| You can get gold or silver ink for printing presses but not the type of printer you use with your home computer. A printshop can also give raised print by sprinkling a powder onto the inked text before it dries and shaking the excess powder off. It is then passed under heated bars on a conveyor belt and the powder fuses to the ink. You can do a version of this yourself by having a rubber stamp made of the text you want and using embossing powder and a heat gun from a craft shop. It does take time and you will need to make extras as you will not get a perfect impression every time.The simplest thing to do is to print in normal black, blue or whatever and use peeloffs from a craft shop to add a metallic touch. These are inexpensive and you can buy sheets of words such as 'Wedding Invitation', 'Evening Invitation', 'Order of Service', and 'Menu' in a variety of different typestyles. (These wordings are also available in rubber stamps if you want to use the embossing powder method.)Peeloffs come mainly in gold or silver but there are other colours available and they can be coloured with permanent overhead projector pens or special peeloff markers. They are peeled off the backing sheet as a complete word and have an adhesive backing to stick where you please. If you do not get them positioned correctly they can be lifted and stuck down again. They have the advantage of allowing you to use a heavier card than you could print. You can buy ready made toppers to decorate the front (ask for advice at the craft shop) and you can print all your personal details on a good piece of paper which can be attached within the card |
