Web offset inks

[cementary]

Our local ink mixing station claims that there are "no metallic ink for heatset and coldset printing and never was".
I know 100% there are metallic inks for letterpress, gravure, flexo... you name it
I am kinda embarrassed, and have a question for biggest printing community on the web — Is that so? Are there really no inks with metallic powder for web offset? And if so, what's the deal with coldset/heatset?

Hello cementary,

There are Metallic Inks available for H/set Web/ CSWO, though very poor results on Newsprint with CSWO Ink.

Just "Google" - 2.000.000 results saying YES

Hello Alois
That's the whole point of topic. I've googled it as soon as i got that response from mixing station. Thought maybe i'm out of my mind and it's time to retire
