How do I set up my design for Digital Gold or Silver printing?

Remember that you can't have digital Gold and Silver on the same artwork.

You'll need to create a Spot colour if you're using Illustrator or InDesign (or a similar program) or create a HEX colour if you're using Canva.

Illustrator or InDesign

It's important that your Illustrator or InDesign document is using the CMYK profile

Digital Gold 

Create a Red spot colour (CMYK 0/100/100/0) and named: Gold

Digital Silver 

Create a Cyan spot colour (CMYK 100/0/0/0) and named: Silver

In Illustrator

If you’re using Canva (which can’t create spot colours) use these Hex values for Gold or Silver instead:

Gold: #ff0000 (Red)

Silver: #00ffff (Cyan)

Save your PDF with the RGB Color profile.
