"silver" prints from digital systems?

"silver" prints from digital systems?

2001-08-20 by Brian Mikiten

This is a bit obscure but I have been looking at the images in B+W magazine and noticed that they are using a 5th in color that appears to be a true silver shiny ink. The images have a certain luminence that I would like to reproduce in my digital printing. Is there a way (custom MIS sets?) to get this same look? My experience with Piezo inks to date has been good but they are more brown than cool in tone and certainly not silver.

Thanks!

Brian
