A metallic accent.
A separate layer.

Copper and silver are fictional visual directions here. The proof desk isolates the accent from the base body and printed artwork so it can be specified and reviewed independently.

PROCESS BRIEF

Name the process with the supplier.

Intent	Question for the decorator	Evidence
A fine metallic line	Which process can reproduce the requested line on this geometry?	A physical decoration trial, process identity and agreed detail limits.
A broad reflective area	What substrate preparation, masking and surface system are proposed?	An actual coated component and a record of the layer sequence.
An accent adjacent to print	How are the artwork and metallic area registered to one another?	A combined decorated sample, registration reference and inspection plan.

PHYSICAL QUESTIONS

Inspect more than the reflection.

01 /

Coverage

Review continuity around edges and curves. Inspect the intended area on a component rather than approving a flat metallic image.

02 /

Layer relationship

Identify where the metallic decoration sits in the sequence and whether a protective coating is part of the proposed system.

03 /

Durability

Define appropriate adhesion, wear and formula-exposure checks with qualified parties. The screen cannot establish any of these properties.

NEXT STUDY

Compare a controlled difference.

Save one variant without metallic decoration and another with the accent while leaving body, print and coating unchanged. The comparison will list the metallic layer as the difference. Use that record to request a physical pair from the supplier.
