Question

Can I combine dual raised printing with other finishes?

Answer

Dual raised printing works best as a standalone finish. Coatings applied on top can flatten or interfere with the raised texture that makes the effect worthwhile.

  • Avoid layering lamination or UV coating over dual raised ink, since it can dull the tactile relief.
  • Instead, create contrast through your paper stock and color choices.
  • A darker stock under lighter raised ink, or vice versa, makes the dimensional elements pop.

If you want to mix multiple finishes on one piece, it is worth reviewing the full range of printing finishes to see which combinations complement each other without compromising the raised texture.
