This type print is fairly easy to do. Although I haven't done much of it, I've had success with using laser fusing foil, and it only requires one additional step in the process.
If you are not familiar with Foil Fusers, here is a snippet from one of the websites that sells a fuser:
Foil fusers are ideal for creating business cards, documents, posters, ads and more. Foil fusing foil, once heated up, is designed to adhere and fuse directly to toner. The end result is lettering, images and logos that have a professional colored metallic finish.
Not only will the foil adhere to toner, but it
will also adhere to plastisol and vinyl printed shirts. Simply place your shirt in your heat press, cut what you need from a foil roll, place it on the shirt on the desired area and press with medium pressure at 300 degrees for about 3 seconds or so.
The result is a beautiful metallic print.
You can find this foil in a variety of colors and effects, usually priced about $19.99 for a 12'' x 100' roll. It's very cost effective, especially considering the markup you can get for a "foiled" special effect shirt.
Hope this helps.
