1. A system for printing images of a document on a substrate, the system comprising:
a processor configured to identify metallic objects represented in the images of the document using a metallic object detection routine utilizing a data set and being trained on metallic objects and to render the detected metallic objects with a metallic toner or ink;
an interface configured to display the rendered image to a user and present the user with a plurality of options including 1) print the document using the rendered image with metallic toner or ink, 2) edit the rendered image and then print according to the editing, and 3) reject the rendered image with metallic toner or ink and print the document with non-metallic toner or ink; and,
