Enhancing your printed materials can be done with either Super Gloss or Spot UV. Both add a special touch, but they work differently. Here's how:

Super Gloss Coating

  • Full Coverage Shine: Super Gloss covers the entire surface of your print with a shiny, reflective finish. It makes colors vibrant and gives a sleek, professional look.

  • Protection: This coating adds a layer of protection against scratches, dirt, and moisture.

Spot UV Coating

  • Selective Shine: Spot UV is applied only to specific parts of your print, creating a contrast between shiny and matte areas. This highlights design elements like logos or text.

  • Texture: The mix of glossy and matte areas adds a tactile feel to your print.

  • Design Flexibility: Spot UV allows you to creatively emphasize key parts of your design.
