A method of making a liquid electrophotographic paste, comprising: making a silver base paste by: forming a silver dispersion of a colorant and a non-polar carrier, the colorant being chosen from i) a pigment having a silver appearance or ii) a combination of the pigment having the silver appearance and an other pigment having a pearlescent optical property; adding a transparent resin dispersion to the silver dispersion to form a dispersion mixture, the transparent resin dispersion including a polymer dispersed in a non-aqueous carrier; and homogenizing the dispersion mixture, the homogenizing being accomplished via a first non-impact homogenization process operating at a frequency of less than or equal to 1 kHz; and mixing a predefined ratio of the silver base paste and a colored paste, thereby producing the LEP paste which exhibits a color that matches an industrial color standard when formed into a final printable ink; wherein the mixing of a predefined ratio of the silver base paste and a colored paste is accomplished via a second non-impact homogenization process operating at a frequency of less than or equal to 1 kHz; and wherein both the first and second non-impact processes are each: an agitation process wherein agitation is accomplished by shaking the mixture; and accomplished by agitation alone and no other processing steps are used to homogenize the dispersion mixture. making a silver base paste by: forming a silver dispersion of a colorant and a non-polar carrier, the colorant being chosen from i) a pigment having a silver appearance or ii) a combination of the pigment having the silver appearance and an other pigment having a pearlescent optical property; adding a transparent resin dispersion to the silver dispersion to form a dispersion mixture, the transparent resin dispersion including a polymer dispersed in a non-aqueous carrier; and homogenizing the dispersion mixture, the homogenizing being accomplished via a first non-impact homogenization process operating at a frequency of less than or equal to 1 kHz; and forming a silver dispersion of a colorant and a non-polar carrier, the colorant being chosen from i) a pigment having a silver appearance or ii) a combination of the pigment having the silver appearance and an other pigment having a pearlescent optical property; adding a transparent resin dispersion to the silver dispersion to form a dispersion mixture, the transparent resin dispersion including a polymer dispersed in a non-aqueous carrier; and homogenizing the dispersion mixture, the homogenizing being accomplished via a first non-impact homogenization process operating at a frequency of less than or equal to 1 kHz; and mixing a predefined ratio of the silver base paste and a colored paste, thereby producing the LEP paste which exhibits a color that matches an industrial color standard when formed into a final printable ink; wherein the mixing of a predefined ratio of the silver base paste and a colored paste is accomplished via a second non-impact homogenization process operating at a frequency of less than or equal to 1 kHz; and wherein both the first and second non-impact processes are each: an agitation process wherein agitation is accomplished by shaking the mixture; and accomplished by agitation alone and no other processing steps are used to homogenize the dispersion mixture. an agitation process wherein agitation is accomplished by shaking the mixture; and accomplished by agitation alone and no other processing steps are used to homogenize the dispersion mixture.
