    Dot Gain

    Depends, is it all jobs or just a job? Look at your prepress not just in the press room. Could be the water - do you have a reverse osmosis unit? Alcohol balance - test for conductivity. Bad or old blankets Print Speed Roller Pressure too high Water / Damp Mix Naff paper and inks will also...

    "liquid metallic" or "liquid foil" ink?

    Could it be done as a High Gloss Coating or Varnish on top of the silver. It's an option if your press does not have an inline cold foil units (foilstar, etc)
