Question
What is a varnish in printing?
Answer
A varnish is an ink-like clear coating applied on the printing press. It can flood the entire sheet or be laid down only on chosen areas as a spot varnish, adding shine and a measure of protection right in line with the ink.
- Flood varnish: covers the whole sheet for uniform sheen and light protection.
- Spot varnish: applied to specific areas, like a logo or headline, to make them stand out.
- Sheen options: available in gloss, matte, or satin to control the look.
