Have done some digital prints onto metallic paper (Silver and Gold) in the past and they looked pretty good!.. just a couple of things to be aware of - 1) make sure you print on the correct side. I did'nt. The print looked great until I lifted the paper up and turned it into a multi-coloured waterfall. 2) It can be difficult if you intend to frame under glass or perspex. Make sure the print is completely dry and use a reasonably thick mount between it and the glass.

One other point, wear those gloves that are used for handling negs, as the metallic paper picks up fingerprints like crazy!!

Just my ten pence worth!!
