Canon Colorado M

[SQP]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to print 200% CMYK on a Canon Colorado M and have a gloss finish?

Another post of the same. Whats the reason?

Because with 200% we achieve the coverage we need on transparent self-adhesive film.
By printing in two layers, we achieve the desired coverage, but the print comes out matte.

Yes, I know that. What I want is for the final print to be gloss, not matte. At the moment, when printing in two layers, the result is always matte. Is there perhaps a different profile or any other setting that would allow achieving a gloss finish?

Not going to work in gloss mode.
Density mode is done with matte for a reason. Too much ink on gloss mode will not sure due to how curing is done on the colorado.

Yeah, you can't do multilayer or white printing in gloss. You can use the flex mode to do both matte and gloss in one, but they're not on top of each other.

Backlit and Backlit Density are the ones that are going to give you the best color. Yes, they're only in matte mode.
You could try using Specialty and increasing the Color Optimization to 2 or 3 but sometimes that way over saturates and can do some weird things to the color and finish.
