Printing Glossy on Matte Black

[shepherddesigns]

Has anyone ever experimented with printing on matte black vinyl? The goal is to end up with a glossy/matte mixed decal.

I printed using my normal ICC profile (12pass, 100% ink) and ended up with a pretty cool effect, but the "glossy" is more like a semi-gloss. How can I get a more glossy finish? More optimizer? Push ink limit to 120% or more?

Here's the print. This is Hexis Matte Deep Black. HP 315.

Spray it with a glossy clearcoat.

I don't think you can print it any better. I think it always tends to be somewhat semi glossy and the material surface also affects it.
