You mean metallic gold? Will your printer do that?

I think it also depends if your printer's ink cartridge has a gold or gold like color.

If you want it to have a metalic look to it you'll have to do it in photoshop.

Here are the directions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF4kMVDDp-I

A laser printer will not print in gold because it does not have gold ink. You can try printing yellow on a mettalic paper, the yellow will be shimmery and it will look like gold. That's what I did for my invite.

thanks acutally ... I got it to print in gold on my laser printer ... you have to put a certain code in the color box of the program you are using and since the laser can print pretty much any color you want, it came out perfect. Thanks!

How did you do it? I am trying to print in silver, but I can’t seem to get it. I have an HP laserjet.

you have to type in the number when you go to more colors (in custom colors)

so go to the font (where you change the color) in the drop down menu go to more colors. Then go to the custom tab.

the color model should be set to RGB and the numbers in all 3 box (red, blue, green) should be 188 -- that looks like silver if you want to modify it a little, you can mess around with it until you get what you want. but since you have the laser printer, this should be good
