Pantone metallics (871–877) imprimimos
Printed metal flake, not foil. A sheen, never a mirror: and worth knowing the difference before you specify it.
On-screen approximation: not a colour-accurate reference. Match to a physical PANTONE® chip before you sign off.

Metallic flakes lose much of their sheen in cotton fibres and hold better on coated stock. Coloured sheets change their apparent tone; use foil when a crisp, reflective metal mark matters more than a satin ink effect.
O que saber antes de especificar
- Metallic PMS is a printed approximation of metal: aluminium or bronze flake suspended in ink. It has a sheen, not a mirror. Foil is actual metal transferred under heat and pressure: reflective, sharp, and unmistakably different in the hand. If the brand asset is 'gold', foil gives a reflective highlight while metallic ink gives a satin sheen.
- The same ink is not the same colour on the two stocks. On coated sheets the ink sits on a sealed surface: denser, brighter, sharper edges. On uncoated the fibres absorb it: softer, duller, slightly lighter, and warm colours lose the most punch. Some colours change character outright: brights go chalky, deep navies go grey-blue.

Perguntas frequentes
- Estes metálicos (871–877) alteram-se em papel não revestido?
- Yes. Metallic flakes lose sheen in absorbent fibres. Expect a flatter metal on uncoated paper and consider foil for a brighter reflection.
- Posso ter estes metálicos (871–877) em papel escuro?
- Standard offset and letterpress inks are translucent. For light colour on dark paper, choose opaque foil or a suitable screen-printing pass instead.
- Em alternativa, consegue reproduzir uma destas em CMYK?
- Sometimes. A process approximation may suit imagery, but large flat brand colours show the difference more clearly. Compare the physical references for the chosen stock.
- A tinta metálica pode ter um efeito espelhado em algodão?
- No. Cotton absorbs the vehicle and scatters the metallic effect. Foil holds a separate reflective surface and is the better choice for a bright metal highlight.
