    Default How much would metallic colours add to the cost of a print run?

    I'm designing a book in Indesign.

    Currently the publisher uses 4 colour throught, but I'd like to use a
    metallic pantne spot colour on the cover.

    The print run is 30,000 and it's 9.187" by 7.453".

    What I want to know is roughly how much this would increase the
    printing cost?

    Thx,
    Rich

    I don't know, but it shouldn't cost any more than a regular spot color.
    Is it going to be a self-cover book? Sounds like a hard cover, so the
    cover would be printed seperately anyway. They can run it on a 6-color
    press. Sorry, really no help. Who is printing it? Can't they tell you?
