Metalized paper is like a plastic or non-absorbent substrate. Contact your ink manufacturer for a formulation that will adhere and dry on the metalized paper. We also recommend running the minimum amount of fountain solution with an added drying stimulator. Proper ink/water balance is critical, as is maintenance including roller condition and settings. Non-porous substrates, plastics, and metalized paper do not absorb the fountain solution, and the buildup of fountain solution on the plate tends to emulsify the ink, creating runability problems and slow ink-drying times. Also keep delivery piles small.
