# How do I setup a Raised Spot UV job?

A Raised Spot UV job is set up the same way as a regular Spot UV job. Along with your standard print file, you provide a separate Raised Spot UV mask file that tells the printer exactly where the raised UV should be applied. Include two files: your regular print artwork plus a Raised Spot UV mask The mask marks the areas that should receive the raised UV, usually as solid black shapes on a white background Keep it aligned: the mask should line up precisely with the elements you want raised Keep raised UV coverage modest so the cards do not stick together

A Raised Spot UV job needs your print file plus a matching mask, usually solid black shapes on white, marking exactly where the raised UV goes.
