can i print in gold
Unless your printer has the unlikely option of a gold coloured ink, the best
you can achieve is a custom colour with RGB values of 199 177 25 respectively. It still looks like pale yellow to me! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sally wrote: I want to print wedding invitations in gold font - Can anyone help? |

Hi Graham,
Unless your printer has the unlikely option of a gold coloured ink, the best you can achieve is a custom colour with RGB values of 199 177 25 respectively. It still looks like pale yellow to me! and pale yellow it is. I've made up the explanation for me, that "gold" isn't a color at all, but a matter of the surface structure. If the surface is reflecting light and the color is pale yellow, then it is called "gold". -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

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.

Thanks for your helpful advice - the colour when printed on cream paper will
probably do the job!!!
