Will Crystalina Make A Plastisol Ink Appear "Metallic"?

Customer wants metallic inks, but ordering three separate metallic colors that I may never use again makes her job cost prohibitive. My distributor recommends Crystalina. Will that produce the same effect?

Thanks.

Carl:

You can try mixing metallic flakes into colored ink to make a different hues metallic. Crystalina won't have the same effect.

Just mix a small quantity to see until it looks right for you.

Good luck,

Crystalina definitely doesn't look metallic in the way your customer is probably looking for. It's just glitter in a base, and that's exactly what it looks like, like you glued glitter to the garment.
