Metallic inks, part 1

When using metallic ink on a print job with a long shelf life or that will be handled often, use a varnish over the metallic for protection. The varnish will diminish the brilliance of the metallic somewhat (as metallics get their brilliance from the leafing of the metal flakes reflecting light), but the overall integrity of your piece will be better and it will rub off less.
