Printer help

My daughter has been askd to produce wedding invitations (shes very arty and has MA) but does anyone know if or how you can print from your PC in silver.
 
Hi Plotter,

If you have an inkjet printer - then silver will just be a light grey colour - and it won't have a shiny surface

However, in the past when I've needed to print something special - and only if you have a laser printer - then you can buy a silver overlay film that you run through the printer along with the paper or card.

The heat from the laser printing process "bonds" the silver foil onto the paper - either directly or in a second process where the foil sticks on top of the black printing

If you don't have a laser printer - and the silver sublimation foil was expensive - then it might be better to take the finished artwork on a memory stick to a jobbing printer.
