Ink jet printers don't have metallic ink. No computer printer does that I'm aware of.
The only printers that have it is, printers at a print shops.
You can make your own receipt if you really have to have it but it's very expensive.
Just go to a print shop and have them mix up three different batches of ink.
Magenta, cyan and yellow is the color you need.
What they do, is mix each color with metallic silver.
After you get your ink, you have to get some ink thinner because real printers ink is really thick.
When you add thinner to each color, you have to mix it in until the ink runs like water.
After that, you need to use a needle and plunger to inject it into your ink cartridge very slowly and try not to spill any in the other colors chambers.
When you print something out on gloss paper, it is cool looking.
It looks almost like a 3D image. It's a real trip.

You can't. Hp printers are designed only to print a dye based inks. They are very viscous and able to pass through a fine print head. There are no metallic inks on the market that are designed to do as much. Most metallic commercial printing is done using a printing press, or is embossed

This would depend on how you are printing. If you are printing from your computer. Then it is usually the software that issues the black only command. How are you printing what software or is it direct from the printer? Direct from the printer would imply memory card. Software would imply things like Microsoft Word etc.

some kind of the printers in hp supporting that but you'll have to change the black cartridges by photo cartridge for your printer.
beside hp... any printer has photo magenta and photo cyan will be able to print you the metallic color but it doesn't depend on the printer it self .. it depends also on the software you're using .. not any software ables to print mettalic..
