Clear and Silver on Xerox Iridesse

[PrintJockey81]

Hello my fellow Print Jockeys! I was wondering if anyone else here happens to have an Iridesse with the Clear and/or Silver units and if so what steps do you take to get the best quality from them? Our clear doesn't seem to "pop" much.

Clear works best on lighter colors. When we run Clear as a spot we use tints 80%, 60%, or 40% of clear ink. Solid shine flood page with clear. Silver we set ink limit between 65% - 75%. The higher the density the more metallic effect it also increases the grayness of the metallic and type of substrate being used. Gold we run at 100%
