It will just be grey yellowish and silvery grey using normal printer.
Depends on your definition of grey it may/may not print the colour you want

never seen anything with the ability to print proper looking gold and silver. as arthurleung says, it will just be yellow and grey.
In theory inkjet printers two tones of colour could have the light CMY replaced with silver and gold. but i don't know any off the top of my head that can actually do this. |

You're best off calling up local print places. At least you'll know if it's possible or not, even if they can't do it. Most gold 'print' is a transfer cut out and stuck to the paper.

The bad news ... I don't think they've been sold in the UK for some years. |

Hello
I've got an old Citizen Printiva prnter (retired and dust gathering) that uses the same microdry inks as the Alps. Silver and gold do come out quite nicely. A very slow printer indeed. Cheers snedger |

cannon's printers range that used the BC-10 could have "metalic" colours made for them back in the day.
could probably pick one up on ebay for £10 too! (the printer, the ink would be harder!)
