I am trying to reproduce wedding certificate that uses gold leaf. I will be printing on an HP Inkjet.

Does anybody know if the gold leaf color can be reproduced and how to do it.

Thanks in advance

You can print a flat goldish color, but not reflective colors like gold or silver on a home inkjet.

Check into buying blank certificate stock that already has a gold foil border (or whatever), and print the rest yourself.

There’s also metallic gold polyester media, which comes in sheets: http://www.papilio.com/inkjet%20gold%20metallic%20adhesive%2 0film.html

If you sample the colour and texture of a photo of gold leaf it will give you something of the same feel, but obviously won’t have a metallic look itself.

The "Gold Leaf" look and feel cannot be reproduced by normal inkjet printers at this time … but IIRC five years ago (or so) Alps had an inkjet printer that could print either Metallic Gold or Metallic Silver.

I think it’s now totally discontinued … but "who knows" …
