They're probably referring to something like Mirasheen. a vacuum metallized leafing aluminum ink. Expensive and very shiny.

The Silver effect achieved can greatly depend on what process you are applying the Silver with. Silk screen= best results. Gravure=Good results. Flexo=acceptable results. Litho=Poorest results

If his profile is accurate - he's an ink supplier for offset litho printers which is why I answered what I did.
