| | Ultra Violet (UV) varnishing is great at enhancing many kinds of print job with a high gloss finish; it can be applied as either an all-over coating or as a spot varnish. UV varnish is a liquid laminate that is bonded and cured with ultraviolet light and requires the use of special ultraviolet drying machinery and the varnish is applied to the required areas. |
Spot UV has the affect of highlighting and drawing attention to that part of the design, but it also provides the additional visual stimulus of having varied textures on a single printed surface. One very effective technique is to apply a UV gloss spot varnish on top of matt laminated printing. This achieves maximum contrast between the highly reflective shiny UV coating and the light-absorbing matt laminate, and can, for instance, create a striking first impression. - Enhances the finished item and instantly raises the interest level of the recipient.
- Ideal for use on presentation folders, brochure and magazine covers, annual reports and business cards.
- Particularly effective on board which has been matt laminated.
