What can a UV coating do for me?
Looking to draw attention to your printed piece? UV coating might be the ideal finishing touch for you.
It is a matte or glossy coating applied to the press sheet after your job has printed. It is applied by a separate machine and dries almost instantaneously when exposed to UV curing lights.
The UV coating can be applied to the entire project (Flood UV), or to a particular area (Spot UV).
Here are a few reasons to use a UV coating on your project:
- Richer-looking colors—Gloss UV coatings make colors appear deeper.
- A super high-gloss finish is desired, more than can be accomplished with a gloss AQ or varnish.
- You want to draw attention to particular areas of your piece by having UV applied to certain photos/logos/design elements/etc.
- Protects against moisture.
