Classic silver scratch-off latex ink
Classic silver scratch-off latex is the metallic ink most people recognize from instant-win tickets. Scratching with a coin or fingernail removes the opaque layer to reveal printed copy underneath. It's the most cost-effective and highest-contrast scratch option, the default for most promotional cards.
