This is a variation on a trick we use with laser printers. It works with some inks, but I haven't ever tried it with ultrachrome. If it works, it goes something like this...

Build a QTR curve to print in only yellow, on a matte paper, using about twice as much ink as you need. Then apply powdered brass or aluminum and heat. You can get metalic transfer paper which is pre-coated with powdered metals. Apply it to the print in a heat press or with an iron.

Have fun...
