With that in mind, you can add opaque white in to your prints, as needed, either as a base print to selectively block out the holographic effect or as an overprint spot color.

COTTON RAG BOND 230 GSM
While this paper is not to be considered archival, and will not have the same print longevity as other more premium matte cotton rag papers, this bright white smooth cotton rag paper has a premium aesthetic and will still manage to impress for basic use or short term exhibitions. This is also a great paper for testing images at large scale prior to printing on much more expensive papers. While the white point and color will be different from one paper to another, this paper is a great option when budget is of concern and print longevity is not of the most vital importance.
