How To Place Your Order
As has always been the case, wider graphics and text benefit from the Spot UV effect more than fine text, but in the right place it can be really effective.
Choose the areas that should receive gloss and provide a separate black vector or high-resolution mask aligned exactly with the print artwork. Broader text, logos and shapes usually show the contrast more clearly than very fine details. The base stock, printed colour and any lamination influence the result. Confirm the product, size, quantity, coverage and whether Spot UV printing must register closely with another printed element.
