    print First white , and in the 2nd run your Magenta

    UV is one way , but not the only way
    you CAN print Silver laminate with conventional ink if you do it right and best with a coater & water base coating

    Dear Sir,

    I have Xl75-5-L it's possible to print on sliver laminated board with conventional ink??
    e.g like the box of signal toothpaste ( to give the colors CMYK metallic effect )!!

    Yes it is possible

    It is possible to print on metalic laminates with regular ink , but it must be done RIGHT
    Not like on regular paper , the laminat will not take in any ink - it all stay's on top.
    so you need to make sure:
    A. your ink will dry right
    B. your ink will be adheasive and stick to the surface

    It is possible to print also plastic this way , but you must be carefull and capable.

    UV dryers & UV inks are also a possibillity - to enable the same resulr at higher speed and quicker dry time.

    If you need help with this - let me know...i am very close ...only abour 2 hours away :)
