Default can i print in gold

Hi Sally:

No. "Gold" is one of the colours that is outside the CMYK colour standard,
non-professional printers can't reproduce it.

But you can have your document printed by a commercial print bureau that can
use actual gold ink.

Use the colour recommended by Graham, then save the file and take it to a
commercial printer. Tell them you want them to make colour separations from
your document and use gold ink for that colour.

Notes: They will probably have to order in the gold ink, so give them at
least two weeks.

They will have to clean their printing press afterwards, so don't expect a
discount.

Take the fonts you used in the document with you: Print shops often use
Macintosh computers that are utterly helpless without the exact font files
used in the document.

Cheers
