Spot UV Varnish
What is spot gloss UV varnish printing? Clear gloss UV varnish is printed through a mesh screen, like normal inks, but unlike solvent or waterbased inks it has to pass through a UV dryer in order to cure the varnish and leave a high gloss finish, creating a three dimensional effect (often referred to as raised varnish), perfect for highlighting text and images and works particularly well when paired with matt laminated stock for maximum contrast. We can also printed matt spot UV, once dry the spot varnish imparts a heightened vibrancy, luxury, tactile quality and instantly elevates the visual appeal of any print. As specialists in digital spot uv varnishing you can be confident of a perfect result every time.

- Offers excellent resistance to abrasion
- Rapidly dries thanks to exposure to UV light
- It is a very environmentally friendly solution
