| Printing dayglo spot colors? I'm just beginning to experiment with printing some of my images, and I've had disappointing results with one image in particular: there's a green color that is going to have to be printed as a spot color, probably in some kind of dayglo ink. Has anyone had any experience doing this? I'm pretty sure I can't do this at home. I'm not sure how to talk to the printer, nor how to select dayglo ink colors. Nor to expect what this is going to cost ![]() Here's a link to the picture in question: http://8128.org/wallpaper/pdoodle1_1024x768.jpg (it's more of an out-an-out abstract art piece than photo art, I know). Thanks all. |

| Dayglow inks require a spot color for 4 color process printing. I'm assuming that you don't want just one or two prints, because this 5 color printing is expensive even for 5000 copies. BTW.. I sell bumper stickers and these are printed with "neon" or dayglow inks. The dayglow colors fade extremely fast!! Not recommended for longevity. |
