    I need to print onto black paper in metallic silver. The font is fine, so those silver pens are out of the question.

    Any ideas?

    I need to print it in metallic silver, hopefully using a normal colour printer.

    I'm printing onto Black a4 paper (that hardened, slightly-cardboard-like paper)

    I don't get your problem, can't you just change the font color in your program?

    Jesus.

    I know I can just change the colour, but when it print's it'll just come out grey or some shade of ****ty silver.
    I need metallic silver - the kind you'd find on Wedding Invitations and shti.

    AFAIK printing in silver isn't possible with a home printer.

    Although if you went to one of the places that refils ink cartridges and asked them to put silver ink (possibly available at an art shop) in instead of black and then print with the new cart. Thinking about it though, this could easily screw up your printer if it went wrong.

    Making a stencil and using spray paint mightn't work as you said the text is fine.

    I guess you only option would be to go to a printers and get it done there.Wouldn't be cost effective if you only want one or two things done though.
