Make Images Pop
When Spot UV is used to highlight your images, they come
to life. Give your printing depth and texture so your pictures
really come off the page. Spot UV can give your printing the
extra pop of detail that gets noticed.
Highlight Text & Logos
Spot UV makes your branding stand out
as the focal point of your printing.
Draw attention to the details
that matter.
Blind Hit
Spot UV can be used to create a “blind hit” which leaves a
watermark effect on your print, creating a pattern or
text where there is no actual image behind the
UV gloss. This is ideal as a decorative design
element to enhance your logo.
