Does anyone print WHITE ON CLEAR ? ? ?

yes... but better to plot and weed white vinyl, if possible for the artwork.... the negative space will never be as optically clear as the glass (though some come very close.)

I've had decent luck using UVDTF transfers on glass, no weeding and the transfer tape is applied by the printer. However, not a ton of people using those.

For backlit menu, we use a UV flatbed to print on white acrylic/polycarbonate, no white ink as that blocks light from passing through.

Have you tried 50% white? I've done CWC with the white set at 50%
Works if using clear acrylic/glass/polycarbonate but found using a light diffusing white plastic to begin with tends to be more economical in time and ink.
