In order to broaden up the type of substrates that can be used for high gloss photo-rich applications, a process combining the intelligent applications of clear dry ink to images printed from the NexPress 2100 digital press to a near-line Glosser unit is used. With the correct combination of clear dry ink and glossing conditions of the belt Glosser, a large variety of substrates are shown to achieve expanded color gamut, high and uniform gloss at the same time. The glossing/finishing process relating to the belt glosser both in the simplex and duplex modes will be discussed.
