Yeah I tried printing on UV but it's not nearly as transparent as solvent inks.Just to point out, printing a shade of yellow on chrome makes a pretty nice gold. At least with latex inks, not sure how transparent UV ink is. If you wanted to mount your own adhesive, there's always mylar...
It may be a last resort if I need to. I had previously don't gold stickers for them a couple of years ago but I can't get that same material anymore.Printing yellow on chrome works well with eco-solvent too, just make sure the chrome vinyl is eco-solvent compatible.
What's Strongbad for? And can ya share the file. I haven't thought about homestar runner in years!I print on gold adhesive film, it's only 2mil though. Fun stuff to UV print on, and decent results.

Holy cow, I have quite a bit of homestar to catch up on. Last I looked at it was 2006. Strongbad's emails were magnificent to my highschool brain, wonder how they hold up these days...Dangeresque has gold sunglasses, so was a fun print.
