About Spot UV


Spot UV is a striking print finish used to create interest & intrigue! This effect is created using a
thick, high gloss varnish which is applied to certain areas (or spots) of the print. Such an impressive
print finish needs to be seen to be fully appreciated, request a FREE SAMPLE.
UV Varnish is best applied to print with a matt laminate which prevents the varnish from soaking into the paper creating the best contrast. A matt laminate will also give the rest of the print a smooth, anti glare, protected finish.
