What will be the result by crossing ib pied x ib silver pied .I am trying to get a IB pied as white as possible

Yes, you will get very white 'pied' ... maybe too white.
The silver pied eraser 'genes' will work ...!
Problems ... most eyes will be white!
Here in Blue color ....

Australian reverse pied ... very white ... but with colored eyes !

25-50-25 is the rule, you should get 25% White, 50% Pied, and 25% Dark Pied. Like snowflakes, the Pieds will have varying degrees of white on them.

Since SP will have two WE genes the eyes will be white and splotchy looking, not the nice round dot of WE. I like the BSSP best as it will have more color and will enhance the train and body. Spaulding SP is also one of my favorites but too much white does not leave much contrast. All of my photos are of my birds, not poached off of the internet.

To avoid the white eyes, what would you advise to use instead of the silver pied to get whiter pied ? Thank you for your help

Thanks!

You'd have to breed birds with more white on them together to begin with. "Pied" is more of a spectrum than any of the other patterns and you won't get Pieds with lots of white from pieds with only a little white.

I am a bit confused with your term 'whiter'. If you mean more white on them then you need to do as Josh said and breed Pieds with more white together for a few generations, think snowflakes. One of the most brilliant whites I have seen was an SP hen I had a few years ago that had a lot of Spaulding in her. To this day I am not sure what made her so brilliant but she was really bright even contrasting to the light silver color she carried.
