Clean finish while ironing

I've been tuning to print at a 0.1mm layer height, the ironing turned out like this. The left side of the Z is a little textured and more shiny.

Why did this happen and how could I fix it?

It's because your nozzle is ever so slightly too low when you're printing. I'd adjust your Z offset by one click upwards.

Reprint the cube, and see if that resolved it. If not adjust upwards by another click.

If after a handful of times you can't get a decent ironing pass, I'd take a look at your extrusion multiplier. Drop it down by 0.01 and recalibrate and retry doing the above ironing calibration sequence again.
- one click upwards.
  
  That's a kilometer sir.
Try monotonic order on top player. I never tried it with ironing, but its worth a shot
- That looks like the issue to me as well, good call.
There's a video on this that might help you. https://youtu.be/wgXlyyJeY8I?feature=shared

- Ironing is a 3d printing term where the heated nozzle is used to smooth the final layer, it's not about taking an actual iron to your print.
  
  The print shown is a calibration cube, meant to show you the results of your print settings so you can adjust them to get better prints.
