Usage and instructions:

1. For printing of gold ink, the quick drier must be added.

2. In normal condition you can use the gold ink directly on the press, but for spot color printing you should add some tinting medium to improve the ink-transfer property with the addition quantity of less than 5%.

3. Because the gold pigment in the ink will react with the acid to reduce the gloss of the prints, so please adjust the fountain water for gold and silver ink printing with weaker acidity.
