in Duotone oder Quadtone drucken
Explanation:
I think it should be "Duotone". Pantone is a system of standardised colours, and Pantone 877 is a metallic silver colour. I am rather out of my depth with photographic technique, but I think this silver is reproduced in greyscale. Duotone means two shades and quadtone means four.

"Duotones/Quatones: another way of achieving effective black and white images in Photoshop. This is more geared towards printing B&W images in color inkjet printers. Images must first be converted to greyscale mode then adjusted using Duotone or Quadtone. Photoshop comes with several very nice presets that can simulate various B&W printing processes."
