You can select a print mode that best suits your application. Choose a gloss, matte or mixed matte/gloss finish and select your print mode in the RIP software.
The location of the print modes differs, depending on the RIP you are using. For more information, see Manage media profiles in ONYX.
Productivity for roll media and rigid media is the same.
NOTE
The available print modes can differ, depending on the media type configuration in the RIP.
A monodirectional option is available for all print modes at half productivity.
A high density option is available for matte print modes when printing on textured media, to increase color density.

For Colorado XL-series a print mode exists that allows you to combine matte and gloss finishes in one print. This print mode is called FLXfinish+. You also need the FLXfinish+ license to print fully matte.
To use FLXfinish+ you do not need any additional varnish channels or extra printheads.
When using the FLXfinish+ print mode, the printhead is divided into zones that are dedicated to matte or gloss printing. Because both finishes can be applied simultaneously, media is not retracted or moved around between printing of gloss and matte sections.
To use white UVgel, you need a license for white UVgel. White and CMYK layers are printed simultaneously.
