Spot UV is a popular coating technique where high-gloss UV coating is applied to a product using ultraviolet (UV) light to cure the printed material's varnish. This method gives targeted "spots" a shiny, vibrant aesthetic and adds a protective coating to the printed product.
The maximum paper thickness is 1mm, and the UV thickness is 0.4mm.
This technique is suitable for plate paper only.

What is Scodix Spot UV?
Spot UV is a flat (2D) gloss effect which is applied to a particular element or section of your design (it is never applied to the whole surface). After being applied, the UV effect is exposed to Ultra Violet light which bonds and dries the coating flat.
Spot UV is a fantastic way to add contrast, and to highlight certain elements in a design. It also looks fantastic as a patterned background. As Spot UV is a flat finish, it can bleed right to the edge of your design.
Scodix (also known as Raised Spot Gloss) is another gloss effect. Like Spot UV, the effect is applied to a particular part or section of your design. However, unlike Spot UV, Scodix produces a raised (3D) effect. With a raised super glossy appearance, Scodix is a stunning way to highlight certain elements in a design.The effect works best when applied on top of velvet laminate for maximum contrast.
Due to the nature of it's raised finish, Scodix can 'fill in' on some very fine lines and serif fonts. We recommend the effect is applied thicker Sans-serif fonts and elements for best results. Again, due to the nature of it's raised finish, the effect cannot bleed off the edge of a design, or be placed over a fold or score line.
